In My Dreams

Chapter 7

Lena's POV

Kara had kept trying to give excuses for her comment. I knew exactly what she said. There was a fluttering throughout my body and I had to make it stop.

"Dont fluster yourself Kara. Now, that interview?"

We continued on without any mishaps but it bothered me not to repeat what Kara had said. She had looked straight at me and said it without a thought. I did want my dreams to come true, but something was holding me back.

After our lunch date I was practically a zombie the rest of the day. It was highly unladylike but I didnt care. I went to sleep with a smile on my face and three little words playing in my head.

*****

I blinked to see Kara walking ahead of me in a field. The same I had walked through with Supergirl that night she saved me. She looked back at me with those eyes and I held my breath. It was the same way she looked at me on our lunch date. Before she told me she loved me. I have only known her for a few months!

Kara had disappeared from my view and I was then in a large room. I had never been there before. A red light scanned me and I stood in anticipation of what would happen next. A screen lit up and my name was at the top. It listed my life. My job, schooling, hobbies, but my eyes were drawn to the bottom. It was labeled 'Soulmate.' Next to it was Kara Danvers.

"What does that mean?" I whispered out loud.

I jumped when Kara walked into the room. She gently put a hand to my cheek and a tear rolled down my face. She wiped it away with her thumb.

"I will always love you" she murmured.

My vision began to blur and I tried to grab ahold of her, but she had already gone.

I woke up to find it was nearly 1 am. I wasnt sure why but I began to cry uncontrollably. I felt like something very important and dear to me was lost. Immediately Kara came to mind and I snatched my phone from my nightstand.

"Lena? Are you ok? What's wrong?" I sighed in relief as I heard her voice come through.

"Nothing I just-... I guess you're not the only one with bad feelings" I try to laugh.

"You sound like you've been crying. Do you want to come over?" she asked. I hesitated before whispering a yes.

She sent me her address and I made my way to her apartment. I knocked on the door once and the door opened.

"Come on in. You must be tired" Kara said in a solemn tone.

She lead me to a room and I noticed that I had been here before. Or at least in my dreams. How had I dreamed of Kara's room if I've never been here before? I was too in thought to realize Kara had put me to bed and was turning to leave. I quickly grabbed her wrist to stop her and prayed that I hadnt scared her away.

"As strange as it may be, I would feel better if you stayed. Knowing where you are will put me at ease" I say shyly. In just a few months this woman had transformed me from Ice Queen to Teddy Bear.

Kara nodded her head and turned off the lights. She slowly got into bed and kept her distance. I didnt like the distance, but it did make me feel safe knowing she was there beside me. I turned on my side to see the familiar window I had looked out in my dream. I looked to the corner of the room to see a bundle of clothes. I could distinctly see the symbol of Supergirl in the dark. She is Supergirl... I closed my eyes to see nothing more.

Kara's POV

Lena freaking Luthor is in my bed?! I was freaking out but it felt so right. I knew she and I were destined to be side by side, but did she know? Did she feel the same? I tried to go back to sleep but I couldnt. I wanted to keep Lena safe. I listened for anything that sounded suspicious but there was nothing there. I felt her shift in her sleep and she wrapped an arm around my waist. My body burned at the contact and I found myself returning the embrace. I closed my eyes in bliss and listened to her heartbeat. I wasnt sure what would happen when morning came but I wanted to enjoy the night as much as possible.

When I woke up, not noticing I fell asleep, there was not only an arm around me but a leg as well. I smiled down at my soulmate and pretended to keep sleeping. I felt her stir and my arm automatically tightened around her.

"Kara. Kara, wake up" she whispered. I blinked my eyes open to see her beautiful emerald gems. "I'm so sorry. I usually sleep with a body pillow. I should have at least warned you."

"I dont mind playing teddy bear" I smiled. It made her giggle and she bit her bottom lip, driving me insane.

"I should probably go back home to get ready for work. Thank you, for last night Kara."

I smiled as we untangled ourselves and I was sad to see her go.

"I could fl- follow you there to make sure you're safe?" I suggested. Close one...

"You mean fly?" she smirked. Damn it...

"Haha, good one. No, I really mean follow" I say nervously. God I'm such a terrible liar...

"I saw your super suit Kara, and I-....." her voice trailed off and she thought for a second. "I figured it out."

"You're not mad?" I asked cautiously.

She walked up to me and held my hands looking into my eyes.

"Kara, you didnt care about my last name, and I dont care that you're a Super. Now, are we still on for our lunch date?" she smiled.

"Can a Krypronian fly?" I joke. She looks at my with some confusion. "Yes, we can."

Lena playfully bats my arm and goes to grab her things to go home.

"Up, up, and away?" she teases.

"Ugh, only my cousin says that. Are you sure you want to fly? I know you dont like flying" I say, concerned.

"As long as it's you whos flying, I'll be fine" she smiles.

I lift her up and we fly to her penthouse.

"This place feels too big. Yours is better" she grumbles.

"I think it's still nice. Maybe you just need something to make it feel more homey to you" I shrug.

Lena looks at me for a second as if deep in thought then blinks and turns away. She sets down her bag and we both walk to her balcony.

Lena is shorter than I am and caught me off guard when she kissed my jawline.

"I will see you at lunch Ms. Danvers" she murmurs.

"See you soon Ms. Luthor."

I leaped off the balcony and flew faster than I should. I did a couple of loops and finally made it back to my apartment. Maybe I can tell her about the soulmate thing soon.....
