Lena's POV
I woke up to Kara's blonde hair half across my face. It was itchy but a calming itch as it made me aware of her presence in my bed. I looked over at her and realised she still had her glasses on. That was odd not many people find it comfortable to do so. But I guess it was her preference. I silently studied every grove and curve of her face and then bare body. She was perfect. There was no other word to describe her. Her slight crinkles around her lips and in between her eyebrows moved ever so slightly as she breathed in and out. Her hair covered most of the pillow, flowing in soft untamed waves. As I was watching her, she woke up. Her blue eyes found mine and an instant smile tugged on her lips. She stared at me for a split second and then slowly brought her face up to mine. She stopped for a beat and then tugged her lips into mine, placing a firm kiss on them. Butterflies still erupted in my stomach when she kissed me and it was no different now.
She pulled back and whispered loudly enough for me to hear,'Happy Valentine's Day Babe.'
I replied with a, 'Happy Valentine's Day Kara.' in a croaky and unflattering voice.
She rolled onto her back and said,' Hmm your morning voice is so sexy.'
'Really? I sound like a frog!' I said knowing my comment would draw a laugh out of her. And that it did. Her face lit up as she erupted in soft giggles. She glanced back at me, still laughing quietly and interlinked our fingers. When her laughter subsided, she said,' I love you Lena. I love your frog voice too.'
Now it was my turn to giggle,'I love you too Kara. You're the princess to my frog.' As the words slipped effortlessly from my mouth, I realised how cheesy it was but Kara didn't seem to mind as her eyes twinkled.
She leaned in to kiss me again. I then said, 'You Kara Danvers have clearly made me watch too many Disney movies.'
'I'm glad they're rubbing off on you.'
I simply smiled at her for a few minutes, neither of us saying anything and being comfortable in the silence and presence of each other.
'I would love to spend the whole day with you but I have work.' I regrettably confirmed. 'But I'll see you for our date at 7?'
'I can't wait.' She smiled at me and we both got out of bed. I quickly got ready, not admitting to Kara that I was already 1 hour late because she would've felt bad. I skipped breakfast and the last thing I saw before kissing her and leaving was Kara sitting at the table eating some pancakes. I grinned to myself, excited to see her tonight and exchange Valentine's gifts.
Kara's POV
After my pancakes, I got ready and left for work. I was nervous about tonight. I was finally going to tell Lena I was Supergirl. I am deeply remorseful for keeping it from her for so long but it just got easier and easier to lie to her. It sounds horrible but sometimes she likes Kara when she hates Supergirl or vice versa and it's just better. Her not knowing means one part of me will always be loved by her. It's selfish and stupid and I need it to stop today. I was in the DEO as I had a day off CatCo work when we got a call for an abandoned building being used as an alien base. Alex brought me as backup and I was happy to help.
'Alright come on team let's go. Don't make too much trouble as I'm sure we have people to get home to on V day.' Alex said through the coms. I smiled to myself thinking of Lena and then Maggie who made Alex so happy. I knew Alex was referring to her in her little pep talk and it made me grin with pride for her.
The team got to the base in no time but it was clearly laced with kryptonite because as soon as I stepped in, I felt my powers weaken considerably. I had no time to tell Alex as we got into a battle with a bunch of the aliens working there. Many of them had advanced weapons that could hurt even me so many of our agents were falling down. As I glanced to my left, I saw my sister get stabbed in the arm by one of their many daggers. The cry she let out was enough for me to get distracted enough for another alien to stab me with a kryptonite sword through my abdomen. Thankfully, the alien stopped before going all the way through my body, but the cut was enough for me to feel a searing agony flow through my veins. I was not used to pain at all because usually I was immune to getting hurt, so this felt immensely painful. My knees hit the ground as I got more lightheaded and blood poured from my open wound. I desperately tried to apply pressure but it was no use. Alex scrambles next to me clutching her arm. I could feel myself slowly slipping into darkness so I spoke.
'Tell Lena' I said. She has to know I'm Supergirl. Knowing how long it takes me to heal, i won't be able to contact her as Kara for like 2 weeks. If she doesn't know, she'll think I left her. I want to give Alex all this information because at the moment she was looking very confused. But I drifted into sleep.
Lena's POV
To say I was mad was an understatement. I had sat at mine and Kara's restaurant for a total of 2 hours, waiting for her to come through the doors. But no. She stood me up. On Valentine's Day of all days. I wanted an excuse from her but I didn't even get that. I waited, texted, visited her apartment and visited her work. But it seemed she's blocked me out completely as I can't find her anywhere. My brain is plagued with the lady morning we spent with each other, trying to grasp what I may have done wrong or to offend her into blocking me out of her life. It tore me apart. I got little to no sleep and struggled to focus on work or anything outside of work. She was killing me and I was letting her.
Alex's POV
The whole two weeks Kara has been 'resting' (basically in a coma) I have been wondering what I had to tell 'Lena'. She hadn't given me any context. I didn't even know who this Lena she was talking about is. I presume it's Lena Luthor but I didn't think Kara had any ties to her. Also, I would not know what to tell Lena if I found her because Kara didn't tell me anything else.
Kara's POV
I opened my heavy eyes. Alex was hovering over me with a tight lipped smile.
'Hey Kar.'
'How long have I been out?' I got out croakily.
'About two weeks.' She replied.
Two weeks I thought. That's a long time. And then one thought crashed into me like a ton of bricks.
'Lena. Did you tell her?'
'Tell her what Kara? And who is this Lena person anyway? I got nothing.'
'Oh no oh god no.' She won't know where I went. Oh god this is bad. This is really bad.
'Kara what's happening?' Alex's voice was laced with concern.
'Alex! Oh my god. Lena Luthor.'
'What about her?'
'She's my girlfriend.' I stuttered, still grasping all of my thoughts and not really noticing I just came out to my sister.
'Girlfriend? Woah. Why didn't you ever tell me?'
'It doesn't matter right now. What matters is she hasn't heard from me for two weeks. She doesn't know I'm Supergirl.'
'As it should-' I cut Alex off.
'No. Alex you don't understand. I was going to tell her on Valentine's Day. I love her Alex. I need to tell her.'
'Wait what? Kara how come I never knew any of this?'
'That doesn't matter right now. I need to find her.' I leapt off the bed much to Alex's discomfort and flew off the nearest balcony. I then realised I should probably address this whole situation as Kara so went to my apartment to change. When I got there, what I saw stunned me.
Lena was sitting on the couch, draped in one of my blankets. I had already walked through the door, a fatal mistake.
She looked up and I could see the exhaustion and crying under her eyes. She looked at me confused for a second and then realisation spread across her face.
'Oh my god.' She said in a cold tone. 'I don't hear from Kara in two whole weeks so I come to her apartment to confront her and here you are.'
'Lena-' I started, wondering where she was going with this.
'She's been cheating on me the whole time? I wasted two miserable weeks looking for any explanation and you come strolling in.' I saw silent tears roll down her cheeks.
