"Supergirl, you've done a good job tonight, go home and get some rest. We'll be okay for the rest of the night."
"Okay, thanks Alex. Goodnight."
"Goodnight Supergirl."
Kara took out her ear piece and and put it in the tiny pocket on her waist. She flew past buildings and saw her apartment but kept flying. She flew to L Corp. They'd been close to the scuffle she'd had with an alien earlier in the night. She landed on the balcony with a light thump, she could see Lena through the glass working on something Kara could probably never understand. Lena pretended not to hear her as she landed. Kara opened the door and stood in the doorway just watching Lena work and the faces she made while doing it.
"I know your there," Lena murmured.
"I'm just checking in, to see how things are going here. A lot happened tonight, I wanted to make sure you're okay," Kara said in her 'Supergirl' voice. Lena stopped working and turned her chair to face Kara.
"Just fine, Ms. Danvers."
Kara had told Lena she was Supergirl a long time ago but no one knew Lena knew, Alex would have a cow if she found out so they decided not to mention it. After all keeping secrets from your super intelligent, multi-million dollar company running CEO, girlfriend is not easy. Kara took a few steps forward. Lena stood from her desk and strode but stopped just before Kara. They looked into each other's eyes, Lena started to tear up but looked down in an attempt to hide her tears. Kara cupped her hand around Lena's check and wiped away the tears with her thumb.
"Kara, tonight was a close one. I stood here and I watched you struggle fighting him. I hate this, I hate can't talk about this with anyone," Lena whispered. Kara closed the gap between them and gently rested their foreheads together.
"I know babe, I'm sorry I tried to lead him away from the building but he wasn't taking my bait. I'm sorry," Kara whispered back, "you know you could just tell people I'm a firefighter. They wouldn't ask too many questions," she suggested trying to lighten the mood.
Lena seemed unamused but gave a half-hearted smile.
"Kara?"
"Yes, Lena."
"I...I love you," Lena whispered. She never thought she'd be the first to say it but then again Kara made her feel love in ways she'd never dreamed of before.
"I love you too," Kara responded.
"Kara?"
"Yes, Lee?"
"Let's go home."
"Let's."
