Supercorp/Supergirl - Short Stories/Scenes/One Shots

"No, don't cry, I hate it when you cry"

Lena's POV

I knew I shouldn't have done it. Supergirl only really hated me for what my brother became, we might've been able to get past that eventually. I just let my blind hatred steer me away from any other possible options. More evil Kryptonians had tried to attack, Supergirl had no chance to beat them all. I still had my device and a way to synthesize Kryptonite. I was going to use the same device we'd used against the Daxons. Kara had been hurt by that before and I couldn't see her hurt by Supergirl having to leave too. I fought hard to find and create a way for her not to have to leave, a cure almost. I only had the time and supplies for one, another would've taken days, weeks, maybe months.

When I'd given the vial to Kara to pass on she looked upset. I knew why, she thought I still had Kryptonite and being close friends with the person who could be killed by it, she had to distrust me. I expected more from her but she was my friend, nothing more, no matter how much I wanted it to be different. She didn't like me that way, there wasn't much point in telling her. Besides, if I told her and she rejected me I wouldn't be able to be there for her. There was the chance she wouldn't want to hang out so much. I couldn't fathom that thought when I would barely get to see her.

Alex had gotten it out of me one night at the bar. It was soon after I broke up with James. I managed to convince the others that I was drowning my sorrows because of heartbreak, I guess I was to an extent. Now that James wasn't there to distract me I could finally accept the feelings I had for my friend. Kara's sister had told me to go for it but I found other ways to occupy my mind.

My experiment didn't really work and after Adam, I shut it down. It never would've become popular with the right people, just the wealthy and the evil. I knew it, I did, I just thought I could feel a little safer at night knowing I could properly defend Kara if something happened. When my building went on lockdown I had to keep an eye on her. I cared so much about her that I didn't even bother to ask questions. Even considering that Kara could be Supergirl hurt me. Knowing someone who had such little trust in me could be my best friend, I couldn't do it.

The night the Kryptonite was being released came quicker than expected. The plan had been in action so long, I couldn't stop it at that point. Kara had been in my office with me when it went off, I'd expected a different, more super guest but didn't mind. She'd spent a lot of time close to me and I honestly didn't mind it. She even told me about her feelings.

"Kara? What a pleasant surprise, what are you doing here?" She'd popped her head around my door first but the rest of her and potstickers soon followed.
"I was just wondering if we could spend a little time together?" She started fidgeting with her glasses as she almost always did, it was enduring.
"Of course, come on in." I had a good couch for naps that I was currently resting on. She joined me and got pretty close. I didn't want to look at our proximity and make her self-conscious of it so kept most of the smile off my lips. We only had about 10 minutes or so until the big event so got started with our food.
"So, Miss Luthor, do you have any plans for the future?" Kara knew better than to address me by my last name, she was up to something.
"When did this turn into an interview, Miss Danvers?" She tried to muffle the giggles escaping her lips but it didn't work that well.
"I was just trying to make conversation." The giggles kept the feel of the room light, even with everything that was going on.

We stuck with silence as we continued to eat. She caught me admiring her a few times and for some reason, I also caught her sneaking looks at me. It wasn't until we only had a minute or so till the bomb that I spoke up.
"What are your plans for the future? Anyone you wanna share it with?" It was only a simple question between friends unless it wasn't. I wasn't sure she was actually going to answer. Kara looked really invested in her potstickers.
"Yeah, actually there is." I urged her to continue and felt one more knife dig a little deeper every time she spoke. "They're amazing. So smart, generous, easy on the eyes and really kind." I tried to keep that smile on my face but it faltered a little. I was happy that she was happy but that didn't stop how much I loved her.
"So, who is it?" I saw an inner war go on as she decided whether to tell me or not. She didn't get a chance to though. The timer went off first. I went straight to the window, I needed to make sure nothing hurt my people.

I was stood at the window, waiting to see if the cure had really worked on Supergirl when I heard it. 'It' was the strangled scream that had come out of Kara. I ran straight to her side, it wasn't supposed to hurt humans. I called for Supergirl, I had to find a way to help her. No one came. When I finally tore my eyes away from the window I saw tears streaming down Kara's face.
"No, don't cry, I hate it when you cry." She was in so much agony and yet somehow I wasn't, I didn't understand it. Why her? There wasn't much time to think about it when her lips met mine. She kissed me. I wanted to smile and cry, I didn't want her to be in such pain. Her hand stayed on the side of my face, soothing the tear tracks.
"It's you."
"What's me?"
"I wanted you to be my future."
"Kara, we'll talk about this once I can stop the pain," I called for Supergirl again as the girl on my sofa shook her head and continued to cry.
"You can't."
"I'll find a way."

I felt her hands leave both my face and my arm. She couldn't meet my eye, even as I actively tried to meet hers. "What aren't you telling me?"
"I'm Supergirl." That couldn't have been what she said, right? Maybe I just misheard because she was being so quiet.
"No!" I felt myself move away none the less. At that moment I didn't care if it was true or not because, why would she say that? Her hands reached for either side of her top before ripping it open.
"Yes." That damned symbol sat on her chest. I could focus on the betrayal later, first I needed to find some way to save her.
"But I gave you the cure, it should've worked."
"I gave it to Superman."
"No, why would you do that?"
"I came to this planet to protect him." She mustn't have had long left. I had to find something, some way to save her.
"What can I do?"
"I don't know." The grip that had reappeared on my arm was getting weaker by the second. I couldn't lose her.
"Why didn't you tell me? I could've found another cure, another way."
"There was no time." Tears streamed down both of our faces, I couldn't lose her.
"Why did you come here? Why aren't you with Alex?"
"I needed you to know I love you." All of my dreams met all of my nightmares. I couldn't do this. I tried everything I could to help her. I called Alex, the DEO, I even had people check the entire building. There was no way to save her and it was my fault. I watched the light fade from her eyes. I'd done this to her.

My entire body felt shaky as my heartbeat thundered. I reached for my phone, I had to call her. It had to be some kind of bizarre nightmare. She picked up after the first couple rings.
"Lena? What's wrong? Why are you calling so early?" I pulled the phone away from my ear to check the time. 3:17 am. The relief in my veins was finally starting to ease my racing heart.
"Sorry I woke you. Just had to make sure you're okay." I heard her laugh slightly through the phone.
"Do you want me to come over?" Yes.
"No, that's alright. I know you're okay." I don't think she heard the full thing. The phone had hung up too soon. I was actually kind of offended she'd hung up on me. That was until I heard a knock on my balcony. There she was, looking kind of embarrassed and still pretty sleepy.
"Supergirl owed me a favour." She tried to stifle a yawn which in turn made me laugh.
"You didn't need to do this."
"I know." The sincerity of her voice was something I hadn't anticipated so much of. "Bad dream? I used to get a lot."
"Yeah, actually it was."
"Anyway, I can help?"
"Yes but it's gonna sound odd."
"Lena, you bought a fast food chain, I wouldn't have you as anything other than your odd little self."
"I am not little." I tried to be stern, to get my point across. She just started laughing again though. I couldn't keep my smile away.

"So Lena, how I can help, seriously?"
"Can I take your measurements?" I spotted that cocky grin again, I almost regretted asking.
"How accurate do they need to be?"
"As accurate as possible, preferably." I should've really known something was coming.
"So no pyjamas then?" I looked at her to try and gauge her reaction and just saw the cocky grin still on her face.
"Kara,"
"You could've at least asked me out first."
"Wait, are you flirting with me?"
"Have been for a while now but thanks for noticing." Wait, what? I was shocked, she must've been kidding, right? I'd turned away from her for a bit to think. When I turned back she was looking pretty rejected. "Sorry, I thought you," I didn't want her feeling rejected, especially when this was exactly what I wanted. She looked kind of awkward and started fiddling with her glasses again.

I walked up to her, lifting her chin up to look at me.
"Will you go out with me?" Her smile was once again contagious.

Author's Note:
It's just a short little thing but I figured I'd add Supercorp to my grouping of one shot story things. I had ideas so I write them. Hope I didn't scare anyone too bad part way through there. Thank my twin (AionioThanatos ) for me not ending the story there. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed at least the ending. Peace.
