Love is Blind

Nothing Gold can Stay

"Do we need to go back?" Kara's soft voice questioned, a slight shudder infecting her tone that betrayed her reservation of returning home.

"Why? The damage has been done," her words sounded harsher than she intended. She did not care about the queer rumors about her and Kara, regardless that there may be a hint of truth, Supergirl is now significantly more at risk.

"We can fix it," Hurt weighed down her already sorrowful squeak that further fractured Lena's heart.

"If we run back now we would only confirming the ramblings of a madman," Lena said, unable to resist a flirtatious smile,"Those whispers of my sexuality have been going around since I took over L-Corp."

"Alien tricks may not work anymore," Kara croaked, raising her fallen face to Lena's. What she saw was a broken, exhausted girl whom eyes were desolate with grief.

"Then we'll face it together," Lena reassured, knowing at that she would relinquish anything and everything to protect her. She could no longer resist that pitiful pale face and placed a kiss against the goddess of a girl's forehead,"Supergirl or not."

"Let's...uh, get you fixed up," Kara sputtered as she begrudging pulled away to grab a handful of plastic bags before dashing outside. For a fleeting second, she caught a glimpse of an unmistakable blush that blessed the beautiful aliens entire face.

Lena was still processing the past couple of minutes as she carelessly shuffled across the smooth wood floor. Not only had the girl of her dreams kissed her, but Kara's identity had been revealed. She had to trust in Alex and Brainy to figure out a solution, they always did. If not, Kara would lose the human life she desperately wanted, all because of her damn brother.

An intoxicating raging crashed over her systems, flooding Lena with the desire to hurt something, someone. Kara deserved the world and Lena was going to do her damndest to give it to her.

Too distracted by her enchantment to care about the aching echoing in her bruised ankle, Lena made her way to the living room. She dragged over a scarlet ottoman to the front of the couch. She grabbed a cotton blanket, wrapping it tightly around her body.

Kara sped into the house, slamming the door shut behind her,"It's snowing again." She hurried over but not before picking up a royal blue velvet blanket on her way. As gently as she could, the alien heroine laid the bags of ice around Lena's ankle.

Initially the freezing ice pricked her foot, causing more pain at first before it started to be soothing. Lena found herself holding her breath as Kara leaned closer to adjust the ice bags so they covered her entire foot. Her emerald gaze traveled from the muscular women shoulders to her clouded sky blue eyes sliding down to the gorgeous girls pale pink lips.

"I'm sorry for all of this, the rumors, keeping you away from L-Corp," the Kryptonian whispered as if putting a mountain load of blame on to herself.

Kara started to take a couple of steps away so she could sit down on the other side of the loveseat when Lena's hand acted on its own accord and caught her wrist.

Their eyes met, mutual desire sparking a desire to comfort the troubled Girl of Steel as she tugged the breathtaking girl closer,"Don't ever apologize to me."
Lena pushed herself up, stealing a quick peck on Kara's cheek as the alien sat centimeters away. Her apprehensive stature dissolved as the warm Kryptonian shifted her troubled gaze to her own hopeful steady sight.

"Why? After all the lying I did? Why do you care?"

Lena was surprised by this question, it was so out of character from the bubbly reporter she had grown to love,"How could I not? You're all I ever wanted, you are kind and selfless. You love me for me, regardless of my family name especially with what happened between Lex and Clark."
"Lee, that's' what I'm afraid of," her voice was hardly a whisper. "You are the only thing that keeps me grounded. If I lost you..."
