Last Night

Chapter 1

It was twelve in the morning and Kara Danvers could not sleep. She laid awake thinking of nothing and everything at the same time. Kara decided to go for a short fly around the city to calm her down, and make sure the city was safe for the night. Kara slipped out of her pyjamas and into her super suit, and took off out the window. National City at night, was one of Kara's favourite views. As Kara flew through the streets she noticed that she was close to LCorp, as she got even closer she saw that there were still lights on inside the building. Kara decided to go check it out, hoping that Lena wasn't in danger. Kara flew up to Lena's office and saw that the Luthor was inside. Kara knocked on the balcony door. She saw Lena jump but once she recognized Supergirl a smile washed over her face. "Supergirl what are you doing here so late?" Lena questioned opening the balcony door.
"I was just checking on the city for the night and I saw your light on. What are you doing here so late Ms. Luthor?"
"Oh I just had some work to finish up. Since you're here would you like to come in?" Kara just smiled and fallowed the CEO into her office. They both sat down on the couch facing each other.
"So how have you been?" Lena asked, "it's been a while since we've seen each other hasn't it."
"I suppose that's a good thing. N-not the not seeing you part, but you're usually in danger whenever I see you. This is nice for a change." Kara rambled.
"I suppose it is," the Luthor teased, "we should make a habit of this, seeing each other in non- life-threatening situations."
"We definitely should." Kara said through a yawn.
"Are you out patrolling the city this late every night?" Lena asked with concern. "No... I actually- I wasn't out patrolling the city I couldn't sleep." Kara admitted, stifling another yawn.
"Ohh that's not good, anything in particular keeping you up? Anything I can help with?" Lena asked concerned for her friend.
"I'm just in my head thinking too much about everything," Kara explained, "although I think I could fall asleep right here right now." Kara said sleepily, her eyes already drooping.
"Go ahead. This couch is actually more comfortable than it looks, and you're welcome to stay here as long as you need." Lena offered. Kara was so tired she could barley keep her eyes open so she just nodded to the Luthor. Lena moved closer to Kara and Kara put her head on Lena's shoulder already half asleep. Lena could feel Supergirls breathing getting slower, and she could not believe that she was holding a sleeping Supergirl in her arms. Lena couldn't help but notice how beautiful the Super looked when she was sleeping, not that she hadn't noticed her beauty before, but something about this moment seemed more innocent and more intimate. Before long Lena was starting to drift off too, her unfinished work long forgotten. Supergirl started mumbling something incoherent 'awe how cute she talks in her sleep' Lena thought to herself. "Lena! Lena no!" At the sound of her name Lena snapped out of her groggy state. "No don't hurt her!" Supergirl cried. 'She must be having a bad dream, but why am I in it?' Lena wonder to herself. Supergirl started thrashing around still calling out for Lena. Lena tried to gently shake the sleeping hero awake.
"Supergirl. Supergirl!" Lena cried trying to hold the super down and stop her thrashing. Suddenly Kara bolted awake.
"Lena? Lena!" She cried. Lena warped the super in a hug.
"Shh it's okay I'm here. I'm here. You're safe. Shh." Lena soothed.
"Y-you w-were in danger and I-I c-couldn't help you I didn't have my p-powers." Kara choked out through her tears. Lena held her tighter and stroking her hair, soothed Supergirl. "It's  okay. Shh. I'm here, I'm safe. Shh." Supergirl pressed her head closer into Lena's shoulder, hating the feeling of being powerless, and terrified at the thought of Lena being hurt. Kara realized what a mess she must seem like to Lena, who probably didn't even care. Kara shot up off the couch.
"I'm sorry Lena, I-I didn't mean to be such a bother. I-I should just go." Kara said backing towards the door. Lena stood up off the couch and reached for Supergirl.
"Wait a minute, you can't fly like this! Come sit back down for a minute. You're no bother, I just want to make sure you're okay." Lena told the super, gently guiding her back to the couch.
"I'm sorry I just... I'm-" Kara tried to stutter out an apology but was cut off by Lena reassuring her.
"It's okay Supergirl you don't have to talk about it, just try and get some sleep okay?" Kara just nodded pressing her head further into Lena's neck, not wanting to face her after that embarrassing scene. Lena had been so kind and understanding, and Kara was grateful for that. Lena shifted on the couch and Kara tensed, not wanting to leave the comfort of Lena's arms.
"Hey it's okay, I'm just going to lay us down okay?" Lena asked gently, rubbing Kara's back to calm her down. Kara nodded and laid down with Lena pressed warmly behind her, and Kara had never felt more safe. Lena had never seen the superhero so vulnerable before and though she wished it would never happen again, she was glad she could provide some comfort for the hero. Soon both of them were fast asleep, a super and a Luthor so closely intertwined who would've thought.
