The thorns on a rose (supercorp)

Chapter 6

It has been 2 weeks since i woke up. Yesterday i was discharged from the hospital. I still haven't gotten any of my powers back but i feel much better. I wanted to go back to work at CatCo immediately but Alex basically ordered me to rest and heal. I was bored out of my mind, all this resting and watching tv all day was fun in the beginning but right now i just wanted to work again. Of course, Alex visited me whenever she could but she had the DEO. Lena was busy working at L-corp and James at CatCo. I spend most of my time alone. Lena brought me potstickers and pizza a few times but she didn't stay long. I felt myself craving her company. I should bring Lena some ice cream. That way i can see her again. I put some jeans on. I was sick of wearing sweatpants all day. Normally i would just fly to L-corp but i guess i have to walk there instead. Alex was going to kill me if she found out i left the house. But she doesn't have to know right?

It took me at least 30 minutes to get to the ice cream shop. I got a bucket of ice cream to go but i realized that it would probably melt before i even got there. I guess i have to walk as fast as i can.

When i finally reach the building, i was out of breath. I made my way to the elevator when there was a note, lift is out of service. Of course it is. 26 floors up, great.

When i finally got to the 26 floor, i was covered in sweat. I had to take some small breaks in between floors, so it took quite some time. Crap, so cute showing up covered in sweat and out of breath to your crush's office. Jess wasn't at her desk but there was a note asking to wait till she got back. So i sat down on the couch to wait. Why would humans ever exercise, this is horrible.

I heard two people speaking in the hallway about investors or something. I didn't exactly focus, i was still tired from the stairs and the walk here really. "Can you ask him— Kara?" Lena said. I looked up. I waved my hand at her but didn't say anything, still out of breath. "What are you doing here, you should be resting love." She said. My stomach dropped, she said love. "Are you okay?" She sat down next to me and put an arm around me. "Yes, just out of breath." I said. "Did you walk here? You are sweating." She said. "Yes, and the elevator was out of service." I said. "You took the stairs to the 26th floor?! Kara, there's another elevator on the other side." She said. "Oh." I started laughing. "Of course." I said. Lena started laughing too. "Come on, lets go to my office." She said. We walked to her office and sat down on the couch again. "I brought you ice cream but it's probably a milkshake by now." I said. "You should've called me. You literally got discharged yesterday, you're in no state to walk all the way here." She said. "I just really wanted to see you, sorry." I said. I looked down. She was angry. "It's okay." She said and gave me a hug. "I'm sorry." I said. I couldn't hold my tears anymore. Here i was, making a complete fool of myself. If it wasn't enough coming here covered in sweat, i'm also crying. I got in these moods a lot lately. I just felt so weak, everything i tried doing went completely wrong. I was just tired of this. I wanted to fly again. "Promise next time you want to do something like this you'll call me. I'll get someone to pick you up if i must, okay?" She said. "I promise." I said.

She gave me a kiss on the forehead. "How about you take a shower and i'll get someone to deliver us frozen ice cream." She said joking. I nodded.

Apparently there was a bedroom on this floor. I suppose Lena stays here sometimes when it's too late to go home. She gave me a sweater and some jeans. I took a long shower.

The sweater was a little big on me but it smelled like Lena. It was soothing. I walked out of the shower and Lena was waiting for me on the bed. She was already eating some pizza and watching something on tv. "I thought you might be hungry too so i ordered some pizza as well." She said. "Thank you, you're too kind." I said. "That's what friends are for." Lena said. Friends. "Don't you have work to do. I already interrupted your day enough." I said. "It's fine, i don't have any meeting left today. The rest can wait." She said. I sat down next to her and took a slice. I silently ate the pizza and ice cream. I didn't know what to say. It was stupid coming here in the first place. I see her watching me in the corner of my eye. "What are you thinking about." She asked me. I sighted. "I shouldn't have come here. It's embarrassing." I said. "You don't have to feel embarrassed, Kara. Not with me." She said. "I'm sick of sitting all alone. I just want to go out again. Everyone has busy jobs and Winn is gone. I just feel so lonely." I said. "Why don't you stay over at my place for a few days. At least you won't be alone in the evening." She said. "I would like that." I said. She walked over the drawer and pulled her keys out. "Here, it's my key to the apartment." Lena said. She gave me the key. "I am going to finish up some paperwork, you can just stay here." She said. I nodded. I didn't really have the energy to move anyways.

I get under the covers. It was getting late so i figured i would just sleep at L-corp. I would love to stay at Lena's apartment for a while. Although my attentions might be different. I hope this will make us closer, maybe give me a real chance. But Lena probably doesn't see me that way, she's just being kind. She sees me as a friend but i see her as so much more. Maybe she likes me too, she called me love earlier and she kissed me on the forehead. I'm probably just making this up. Stop it Kara. She's only being friendly. I am just going to enjoy this closeness as long as it lasts. I wrapped myself in the covers. I think about her beautiful green eyes and her smile. She's so beautiful. The entire bed smells like her. I could get used to this. I peacefully fell asleep.
