Even Kryptonians Fall In Love [COMPLETE]

"Hey! It's a been while!"

"No, no, that's not how it's supposed to be done. Let me show you."

"Chloe! C'mon, it's time to go!"

Kara Zor-El sits at the top of a skyscraper listening to the sounds of the city below. Her super hearing catching the mundane conversations of the people finishing off their day. The wind blows her blonde curls around her face and a shiver runs through her body. It's not the cold that brings the shiver, but rather the voice she hears from the building below.

"Eve! Cancel my next two appointments and clear tomorrow's schedule!" Lena Luthor's sultry, confident, strong voice filters through the rest of the population. Kara cocks her head towards LutherCorp, hoping to catch more of Lena's voice. Unfortunately, nothing else follows. With a sigh of disappointment, Kara stands, the wind whipping her cape around her. Glancing out around the city, Kara admires the various skyscrapers, reaching up toward the darkening sky like giant arms reaching out trying to touch the heavens. Despite the wind, it's a calm day in National City. Quiet. Almost too quiet. Kara sighs again, wishing she had something to keep her distracted from Lena.

"Supergirl." Alex Danvers, her stepsister's voice comes across the city.

"Alex? What's wrong?" Kara immediately takes to the air, her cape and hair flowing straight out behind her.

"Nothing, don't worry. I'm just checking in." Kara drifts down slowly, landing on a different skyscraper roof.

"Oh. Well, nothing to report. It's quiet." Kara hopes that Alex can't hear the sadness creeping into her voice.

"Good, are we still on for movie night? I was hoping we could watch The L-Word." Kara cracks a small smile. Since coming out, Alex has been constantly bugging her to watch The L-Word each time they have their movie night.

"Sure, I'll meet you at your apartment in 30 minutes." After Alex confirms excitedly, Kara turns her head back to LutherCorp. She can hear Lena muttering under her breath, frustration about the newest L-Corp technology coloring her tone. The raven-haired woman barely sleeps and almost always forgets to eat at the proper times. Without seeming like a stalker, Kara has been watching Lena from afar, too intimated to talk to her. Fortunately, Cat Grant, her boss at CatCo, wants a personal interview from Lena Luthor, and Lena agreed recently. Kara is hoping that Cat picks her to conduct the interview. For professional experience, of course. Glancing once more at LutherCorp, Kara turns and leaps off the building. Gliding along, she passes CatCo, one of the tallest buildings in National City, and sees Cat still sitting at her desk working on an article. Kara reaches the DEO, and J'onn J'onzz greets her.

"Supergirl. Good work today on keeping the city safe." His rather hulking frame engulfs Kara as he steps forward, hugging her. Kara stiffens against the hug until J'onn lets go. His eyebrows furrow into a look of concern. "Everything okay?"

"Yes, of course. Why wouldn't everything be okay?" Kara walks past him, trying to remove herself from the line of questioning. Unfortunately, J'onn follows her.

"You seem different. Are you sure you're okay?" Kara stops, turning to face him. J'onn has his hands on his hips, staring at her like he can read her mind. Oh, right. He can. But he wouldn't do it without Kara's permission.

"I'm sure. I gotta go, movie night with Alex." Kara whirls back around before J'onn can say another word and takes off into the night. Landing on the balcony of her apartment, Kara steps inside, closing the door behind her. Stripping her Super suit off, she climbs into the shower. As the cold water hits her warm skin, goosebumps dot up and down Kara's arms and legs. A quick flash of heat vision and the water is steaming. With steam billowing around her, Kara takes a deep breath, exhaling slowly. She wonders if Lena prefers showers or baths. Both involve hot water and a very naked Lena. A slight blush appears across Kara's cheeks at the thought of Lena naked. From afar, Lena is gorgeous, and Kara could only imagine Lena's beautiful, pale skin everywhere a dress doesn't cover it. A pulse of excitement courses through Kara's body, causing her core to throb and ache for release. Reaching down, Kara dips her finger inside of herself. Feeling the gush of wetness, she begins rubbing circles on her clit. Increasing her pace, she pictures Lena's fingers pleasuring her instead of her own. Even faster now, Kara's fingers working furiously on her clit as the shower water bears down her body. With Kara now picturing Lena's mouth on her clit, she explodes, her orgasm crashing into her like tidal waves on the beach. Panting and shaky, Kara slowly pulls her fingers from herself, using the shower to clean them off. Another quick flash of heat vision and the water is steaming again. Moving quickly now, Kara washes before stepping out into the steamed-up bathroom. Rubbing the mirror to remove the condensation, she looks at her reflection. Her blonde hair hangs in strings around her face, her piercing blue eyes dull and tired, and her smile barely catches up to her eyes. Sighing, Kara turns away, drying off and finding clothes for her movie night with Alex.

After knocking on Alex's apartment door, Kara steps back, waiting. She can hear shuffling inside, the sounds of Alex clearing something from the table before hearing the door lock click. The door swings open and Alex wraps her arms around Kara in a hug.

"Kara! Come in! Are you hungry? Of course, you are." As Kara enters Alex's one-bedroom apartment, she watches as Alex holds up a bag from her favorite restaurant a few blocks away. "Potstickers!" Kara smiles softly at Alex's excitement. It was her fault they haven't hung out for a while. She'd rather keep herself as busy as possible with work from CatCo and being Supergirl to drown out her feelings for Lena.

After the potstickers, noodles, Kung Pao chicken, and fortune cookies were gone, Kara and Alex drape themselves over Alex's couch to watch The L-Word. Halfway through season one, Kara realizes that Alex is staring at her rather than the two women making out on the screen. Kara gestures to the screen, indicating that Alex is missing important details.

"What's with you tonight?" Alex pauses the show, turning her attention to Kara fully. Kara bites her lip, unsure of whether to answer truthfully. "Don't even think about lying." Damn, Alex saw right through Kara's indecisiveness.

"I'm just distracted, that's all." It's not exactly wrong. Kara has been distracted. By a raven-haired model that she hasn't even interacted with. And she might never.

"Distracted by what? The city has been quiet and isn't Cat taking it rather easy on you lately?" Alex grabs her glass of wine sitting on the table and takes a sip. Kara nods, grabbing her glass and draining it. It's not like she can feel the effects anyways.

"Nothing, never mind." Kara plays with the wine glass, twirling it between her fingers and avoiding Alex's eyes. She can feel her gaze boring a hole into her head, debating on pressuring her further or not. Please let her back off.

"Kara...please talk to me. We used to share everything, remember?" Kara nods, feeling tears prick at the edges of her eyes.

"I know, Alex. I just... I'm not sure what you'll think." Finally, Kara looks at Alex. As soon as Alex notices the tears forming in Kara's eyes, she pulls her in close.

"Kara, no matter what, I love you. I'm your sister. I won't judge you. Just like you didn't judge me when I came out as gay. You accepted me with open arms." Alex hugs her tighter. Kara swallows hard, the words sitting on the tip of her tongue.

"I have a crush on someone." Blushing and hiding her face, Kara closes her eyes tight. "I have a crush on Lena."

"Wait. Lena as in Lena Luthor of LutherCorp?" Kara nods, not trusting her words. "Wow, Kara. Have you ever spoken to Lena? Or been in the same room?" Shaking her head, Kara sighs.

"I know it's stupid."

"Hey, hey." Alex takes Kara's face in her hands. "It's not stupid. Kara, it's natural. Thank you for telling me. Is there anything I can do?" Kara shakes her head again.

"No, but the potstickers helped." Alex laughs. Kara relaxes, dropping her tense shoulders against Alex's chest. "Thank you, Alex. I think I needed to get that off my chest." Alex doesn't say anything but pulls Kara tight against her.
