"They say the last thing on your mind before you fall asleep is either the cause of great pain or great happiness..." - Unknown
Lena's POV
Kara had just come back from some work trip so we decided to hang out. We were just having dinner in my office, once again, when she finally told me about it. "Oh my god, I met someone really cool." She was so excited I couldn't help but laugh a little as she blabbered on. "She's like a CEO," like me? "She owns this really tall building," I own two. "She does great things to help her city." "Would I know her, Kara?" "I doubt it." She answered pretty damn quickly. If it were anyone else I would find that suspicious. "But yeah. She's really cool and I got to hang out with her for a bit. It was nice talking to someone who didn't really know me." I felt this horrible feeling. Almost anger but not quite the same. It was eating away at me. I thought Kara was my friend.
She kept going on and on about this other woman. I was just trying to tell how infatuated Kara was, overanalysing everything she said. Although, the similarities were slightly suspicious. I even wondered if she was on about me for a while. "Her hair is so cool, kind of like Alex's. Oh, and she has tattoos." Who knew she could be so amazed by a little bit of ink. "Kara, you know I've got tattoos too, right?" I'd never seen such wonder in her eyes. "You're kidding?" "Nope." "Can I see them?" "Uh, some of them are in a more unsavoury place, if you will." I had a feeling I'd made her slightly uncomfortable with that comment but I wasn't sure. She started fidgeting with eyes glasses again, as she always did. Only thing was, she kinda looked like she was going to take them off rather than her usual movements.
She didn't , she kept them on and instead seemed more interested in our precious topic once again. "So, um, can I see your tattoos." "I have one on my shoulder you can see." Kara seemed back to her childish self but I could tell she was still a little distracted by something. She was looking at me different. "As for the others, at least buy me dinner first." She hid her face as she laughed with me. Little hints of pink still evident on her cheeks. I decided to save her from her embarrassment and simply show her one of the tattoos. I had one on my right shoulder, a mountain made of geometric shapes with a phrase around it and a few stars. Rather than stretch my collar I pulled my arm out of the shirt. Instead of seeing the wonder in my friend's eyes I could hear it in her gasp.

"To the stars that listen and the dreams that are answered. What does that mean?" "It doesn't mean anything in particular I've just always loved the stars. A vast space away from here. A chance for just something new." "That's kinda deep, Lena."
Kara's POV
Possibly reveal my identify and check for tattoos like I did with Kate or keep my glasses on? It was a tough decision to make to be honest but it was obvious. I didn't get to find out how many she had but I did get to see one of them. I never knew Lena liked the stars. Maybe one night I could just lay on a blanket outside or something and tell her about the different galaxies, my home. Maybe I could even take her to what was left of my people, as Kara, not Supergirl.
