You are my Kryptonite

Chapter 4

Lena woke up the next morning feeling sick and groggy. After what Supergirl had told her, that she was really Kara, Lena didn't feel like doing much of anything. Not even bossing people around at L-Corp or hiding behind stacks of paperwork.

      Lena sat up lazily in her bed and looked around the room, thinking to herself.

        Maybe if she did do some work, it would take her mind off of Kara. She stumbled out of bed and chose a fancy black suit and black wedges. Lena sleepily put on her outfit then made her way outside to the sleek black car that was taking her to work.  

      On the ride to the L-Corp building, Lena tried to take her mind off things by doing work on her laptop, but all she could think of was Kara. She thought about Kara's wavy and shiny hair. Her beautiful blue eyes, her perfect smile and that cute little crinkle Kara had when she was nervous. Lena thought of how safe she felt around Supergirl and how when she was with Kara she could let everything out and tell her how she was feeling at any time.

       But now knowing that they were the same person, changed everything. She didn't know if one was lying or if Kara truly was telling the truth. She also, at the same time, angry at Kara. Angry that the truth was kept from her and that she was kept in the dark for so long. But Lena looked past her anger, and could tell Kara how she was really feeling and feel so safe with her. "I need to tell Kara how I really feel and that I'm sorry for just walking out on her like I did.." Lena thought to herself for a moment then opened the small window in the back.

      "Driver stop!" The driver turned around at Lena quickly than the car skid to a stop.

"I need you to take me to the DEO agency immediately!" The driver rolled his eyes discreetly, then turned the vehicle around to drive to the headquarters. As what seemed like seconds, Lena arrived at the DEO and quickly rushed into the building, brushing off the constant looks from the agents. Lena was soon greeted by Winn, who took her upstairs to Kara.

"She seems to be doing much better then I she was doing before, but Alex had said that she was coming down with a pretty bad fever."

      As Lena opened the door to see Kara, and Winn slipped away back to his desk downstairs. Kara's eyes were closed, so Lena knocked on the door.

      Kara's eyes opened then she reeled her head around to see Lena standing in the doorway. Her face scrunched in confusion, making her infamous crinkle appear. "L-Lena? What..what are you doing here?"

      Lena slowly strode over to Kara, only looking at the ground, and ignoring the urge to just stare into her ocean eyes. "Well.. I wanted to talk to you... I-I'm...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have just abruptly left like I did yesterday. It was immature of me to do so and..and I apologize."

     Kara just stared at Lena in awe. "Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong. I should've told you sooner but it wouldn't have been safe for you if I did. And if you'd found out in any other way I know you'd be much more hurt. And.. and I also want to tell you one other.. thing.." Kara took a deep breath then looked Lena right in her perfect green pearls. "Lena I.. I like you.. like, like you.."

       The whole room was dead silent. No one moved a single muscle until Lena took a step towards Kara, so they were closer than ever and cupped Kara's face in her hands, gently pushing her lips against Kara's. Kara was very surprised by this and lightly pulled her away, slightly confused. Lena's cheeks turned bright pink and she stood up to leave, but Kara grabbed her wrist.

       "Wait, Lena... stay.." Lena glanced at Kara, unsure what to do or what she should say- if she should even say anything at all. Then she sat back down, keeping eye contact with Kara.

      "Sorry.. that..that just really surprised me. You...you like, like me? Even after what happened? What I kept from you?"

        Lena hesitated, trying to pick her words carefully. "..I...yes I do...like you. I thought about what happened yesterday and it made me realize I truly had feelings for you. Well I'd always known but I didn't know whether or not to act on those feelings...and I hope you really do feel the same.."

       Kara put her hand in Lena's cheek and tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear. Slowly they inched closer and butterflies flew around in Kara's stomach, then at last their lips met. At first, the kiss was soft and gentle, then suddenly it became more intense. Lena grabbed on to the back of Kara's neck and both of their cheeks were heating up. Everything around them seemed to have slowed down, but they seemed to be at their own normal pace. Finally, they pulled apart, breathing heavy and foreheads touching.

"....I really, really like you.." Kara said as she looked up at Lena.

      She giggled. "And I really really like you too, Kara Danvers." Lena pecked Kara on the cheek then stood up.

"I have to get going to work but I'll come back later and visit, ok?"

      Kara grabbed on Lena's hand and made a pouty face, she couldn't resist. "Promise?"

      Lena smiled sweetly. "Promise."

SIX HOURS LATER...

     It had been a long workday for Lena, but it was all going to be worth it, to go back to visit Kara. Lena strode through the doors in the DEO looking prideful and somehow also looking majestic. She went upstairs and gently knocked on the door, scaring Kara-again.

    "Jesus, Lena! You can't just scare me like that! I'm still hurt!"

Lena just chuckled, shaking her head and sat in the chair next to Kara. "How are you feeling?"

      Kara just laughed weakly then scooted over on the bed, giving Lena some room to lay down next to her. "Come, lay down with me."

      Lena smiled, as she carefully laid down next to Kara, so they were facing each other, noses touching. Neither of them said anything, only staring into the others eyes. Lena was lost in her train of thought, admiring Kara and literally everything about her. How she smelled so nice all the time, or how confident she was. The way Kara always made everyone happy even when something terrible happens. It was almost overwhelming, knowing how different they really were, now thinking about it, but maybe that's why they seemed so perfect together. Opposites attract, or so they say...

      Kara slowly moved in and placed her lips on Lena's, and moved her hand onto Lena's cheek. As the kiss became more heated and intense, the more Kara seemed to crave the taste of Lena on her tongue, but Lena backed away and interlocked her hands with Kara's. Her mouth hung open in fake shock, only watching as Lena smiled and closed her eyes, resting her head on Kara's.

"You know.. I never really thought this would ever really be happening. This seems just all too surreal, like something in one of my dreams..in fact, you really distract me sometimes."

      Lena grinned. "Well, well, well, that sounds to me like you're saying I'm you're weakness..? The girl of steel has a weakness and it just so happens to be a Luthor.." Lena leaned in and kissed Kara's forehead as she blushed.

"Yeah, well don't tell anyone. They may take advantage of that." Kara then turned to the opposite side and put Lena's hands on her waist so she was holding her. Lena pulled Kara closer and rested her head carefully on Kara's shoulder. Lena smelled Kara's hair, which smelled sweet, almost like strawberries, then she gently pushed Kara's hair to the side and kissed her neck. Lena held Kara slightly tighter and closed her eyes, before she couldn't help but think to her self, "I think I'm falling in love with a super.." Until she finally drifted off to sleep.
