Crisis on Infinite Earths

Chapter 2 - Reconnecting

Kara Danvers looked at the mirror, rehearsing what she was going to say to her best friend for the 10th time. She took a deep breath and took of her glasses as she looked at her reflection.

- I think this is it... - She said in a whisper as she put her glasses on again.

She turned to the TV and turned it off, getting pissed at what she was watching and left. It was definitely not good news at all

It didn't take that long to get to Lena's place, but it definitely felt like a long time. Kara was really nervous and she knew it would change everything, but it was about time. It would be ten times worse if Lena heard it from anyone else.

- Lena?

Kara stared at her friend looking weirdly at her as she opened the door. It felt like that for just a second, Lena had a smile on her face so fast, Kara thought she probably was seeing things. She felt like her heart was going to jump out of her chest. This was going to be harder than she thought.

- What can't I do for you, Kara? I'm really busy right now and... - Lena said as she crossed her arms on her chest and Kara saw that cold look again.

What was going on? She asked herself.

- I really need to talk to you...

- I'm sure it can wait... - Lena was about to bring Kara outside her apartment but Kara stopped her.

- No it can't! I waited more than I should have and I just can't wait anymore... I need to tell you something!

Lena closed the door behind her as Kara walked to the middle of her living room. She decided to listen, even if she was really pissed right now.

- First of all, I need to tell you that you mean a lot to me. You are my best friend... When I met you, I didn't know what to expect but as soon as I got to know you, I knew you had nothing evil in your bones, and for sure you were nothing like your brother.

Lena stared at her thinking about a lot of things, none Kara would like to her right now. She just nodded slowly with her head and kept listening.

- I have a secret... And I couldn't tell you before because it was dangerous. I usually don't tell people because it can be really dangerous and the last thing I want is to put someone's life in danger because of me. I just want you to know there's nothing to do with trust... The fact that I didn't tell you before, because I trust you...

- Kara! You're making no sense... Please go to the point!

- I'm Supergirl!

Lena stared at her in silence.

So she was finally telling her? To be fair, Kara had no idea Lena found out thanks to Lex. But it was bad because her best friend couldn't tell her a single thing before. She waited this long, and for what? She thought.

- This is the part you say something... - Kara said, worried about Lena's reaction.

- What do you want me to say?

- I don't know... Anything!

- I'm sorry, Kara... I have nothing else to tell you except that I'm disappointed.

- What?

Kara looked confused at Lena. Why on earth her friend would feel like that when she was confessing she was a superhero?

- Don't get me wrong, it's amazing what you do for people... I'm disappointed because you didn't have the guts to tell me before.

- Like I told you, I was...

- Protecting me... Kara this is the lamest excuse ever! We both know I can handle many things! Besides, many people in your life knew and kept it from me, so...
