Secrets...Revealed

'Stacey' (Kara)

Kara was back in the alleyway with her back to the hotel, mask still on as she took in some deep breaths. She needed to leave the party again to calm herself down. She didn't know how much more could take of this closeness to Lena. Shaking her head she looked around only to see Lena walk her way. "You ok Stacey?" Lena asked. Kara nodded and began walking past her only to have Lena put a hand on her arm. "Do you care for Sam? Really care for her?" Lena asked. Again Kara nodded and turned to continue walking away. She walked back into the hotel with Lena hot on her heels asking her random questions as she went. "Stacey...it's almost the end the of the gala...why don't you take your mask off?" Lena suggested. Kara ignored her and walked over to Sam and whispered in her ear. "Ok..let's go." Sam replied. "Leaving already? I haven't even seen your face. Can I see it?" Lena asked half begging. "She doesn't feel comfortable showing her face." Sam replied. "And why not?" Lena asked. "Bad scaring on her face from an accident." Sam stated as she ushered Kara to the limo.

They arrived quickly to the hotel and all but ran to the elevator. "What a night!" Kara exclaimed. "I know! I was so sure she'd recognize you!" Sam replied. Kara went to remove her mask but Sam stopped her. "Leave it on in case she follows us here." Sam replied. Kara nodded and followed Sam off the elevator. Sure enough Lena was waiting for them just off the other elevator. "You forgot this at the gala Sam." Lena said holding Sam's cellphone in her hands. "Thanks Lee! I'll see you Monday!" Sam said as she snatched the phone from Lena's hands. "Wait...don't you want to hangout or something?" Lena asked looking back at Kara who hung her head down. Sam looked back at Kara for a moment. "Go to the room...I'll just be a moment." Sam said. Kara nodded and scurried away.

Lena watched this with curious eyes. "Why don't you want me to talk to her Sam?" Lena asked. "It's not that...it's just her throat.." Sam replied. "Throat...right...that's a shitty excuse Sam..you and I both know it. Why not just tell me who she is.." Lena replied. "I can't. I'm sorry." Sam replied. "Can't? Or won't?" Lena asked with her hands on her hips as she glared at her friend. Sam sighed. "Let me go see if she's ready to meet you..stay here." Sam said. "Fine." Lena replied. Sam hurried to the room opening and closing the door quickly. "Kara!" She called out softly. "Yea? What is it?" Kara asked. "Lena wants to meet 'Stacey.' Properly." Sam said. Kara paled at the thought.

"Let her in...I'll put the mask on...and not speak." Kara replied. "Are you sure?" Sam asked. "No..but it has to be done." Kara replied. "Ok..I'll go let her in. You can go get into something comfortable if you want." Sam added. Kara nodded as she headed into the bedroom shutting and locking the door behind her. Sam went and opened the hotel door allowing Lena inside. "Where is she?" Lena asked. "Bedroom. She's changing out of her dress." Sam replied. "Ok...then I'll wait." Lena replied as she sat on the sofa.

Inside the bedroom Kara found the device that would change her facial features and put it on before she pulled on a baggy shirt and shorts. After checking her 'new face' in the mirror to make sure she wasn't recognized. "Ok...oooh the voice changed too! Ok..relax...just go get reintroduced to Lena." She whispered to herself. She opened the bedroom door and walked out to where Sam sat on the sofa. Lena looked at her in awe. Kara could hear her heart racing inside her chest as she sat down. "Feel better love?" Sam asked. Kara coughed before speaking. "Yea..much better." She replied. Lena just stared at the blonde woman. "Lena! Stop staring at my girlfriend!" Sam exclaimed. "S..Sorry...you just look...wow....so familiar.." Lena said.

"And who would I look like?" Kara asked. "So she does have a voice! A very nice voice...almost familiar..." Lena added. "Familiar? Who do you think I sound like?" Kara asked. Lena looked at Sam with wide eyes. "Well tell Stacey who she reminds you of..." Sam replied. "You look like this woman...that I'm in love with." Lena asked. "And this woman...have you told her how you feel?" 'Stacey' asked. "I....I never got the chance...she disappeared before I could tell her. Now I don't know where she is. All I have this." Lena replied as she pulled out a note from her pocket. "What is it?" 'Stacey' asked. "It's a note I took after watching the video she left for me with her sister. It's a clue of sorts, to wherever she is I guess." Lena explained.

"Do you mind if I see it? I'm kind of a master at figuring out clues...aren't I Sammy?" 'Stacey' asked winking at Sam. "Yes you are love. I pulled a tip from your book Lee, I filled her apartment with flowers, instead of her office." Sam added. "You filled someone's office with flowers?" 'Stacey' asked. "Yes. I thought it would make my intentions clear for her however she only saw me as a friend. No matter what I did to make it known that I was in love with her and wanted to be more than friends she just saw me as a friend. And now she's gone and I'll probably never get the chance to tell her how I feel....how sorry I am for freaking out when she told me her secret...how I wish every day that I could go back to that moment and change how I reacted...instead of screaming at her I should have pulled her into a kiss and told her how I feel." Lena explained.

Kara (Stacey) had to do her best to control her emotions as she listened to what Lena said. "Let me see the note you made..maybe you'll get a chance to see this person again." Kara replied. Lena passed her the note and sat back on the sofa. Kara read the note and smiled to herself. "Do you know her favorite musicals?" Kara asked looking at Lena again. "Yea...wizard of oz, Mamma Mia one and two, Mary Poppins, and The Greatest Showman. But that doesn't help me though. Only two of them are in different countries. Mary Poppins is in England, and the Mamma Mia's are in Greece." Lena replied. Kara laughed at Lena's statement. "Actually Mary Poppins takes place in London...so that narrows it down and the others take place on an island only accessible by ferry...so again it narrows it down. Wherever this woman is you love is either in London or on a Greek island." Kara replied.

Lena was stunned. "How did you figure that out?" Lena asked in shock. "I'm just highly logical. Sometimes you just need to take a step back and look at it from a different angle. So now you have two different locations to check for this woman and confess your feelings. However if you are the reason she left here...then I'd make sure to do some big gesture to win her over." Kara replied. "What would you do in my shoes?" Lena asked. "Well...first thing I'd do would be buy a plane ticket. Then I'd learn her favorite song and dance from those movies and maybe buy or make said costume and preform it for her when you find her. I mean...what do you have to loose?" Kara asked.

Lena looked from Sam to 'Stacey' before speaking. "So you're suggesting I buy a Mary Poppins costume and a Donna costume and preform songs from those movies?" Lena asked. "That's up to you. Do you really care for this woman like you say you do? Or do you just want her so no one else will have her?" Kara asked. "I really love her with everything I have. I'd give up my whole life just to have her in my life. I'd sell off my entire company for one more chance to look into her blue eyes, to see her smile, watch that crinkle appear when she's nervous or she's concentrating on something. God...I'd sell my soul to the devil if it meant I'd hear her beautiful voice say 'Hey Lee!' Once more...god...I'm sorry...I'm such a wreck.." Lena groaned as she wiped tears away from her face.

Kara leaned over and took Lena by the hand. "Listen...get your stuff together at your company, make plans to leave for London, if she's not there...go to Greece. I'll be here for a week so if you need someone to talk to other then Sammy I'll be here." Kara replied. "Thank you Stacey. Really. I should go now...but I'll come back tomorrow if you guys aren't doing anything...maybe we can order pizza or something." Lena suggested. Sam looked at Kara. "We're not doing anything tomorrow. Pizza sounds good Lena." Sam replied. Kara nodded and smiled. "Ok...I'll see you both tomorrow then." Lena replied as she stood up. "See you tomorrow." Sam and Kara replied as Lena walked out of the room.
