You gave Lena a small smile when you spotted the 'welcome' sign at the gate.
"That's my ride."
The flight attendant nodded and wheeled you to where Lena was standing. You thank her for the help and she takes her leave.
"(y/n), it's so good to see you."
You leaned in, wrapping your arm around Lena's neck to return the hug.
"It is. It's been so long."
"Since...."
"Lex's trial."
You finish off. The two of you never liked talking about, considering it was one of the Luthor's darkest days. You and Lena dealt with it separately. You joined the army and she took over the company. Even after being honorably discharged after your injuries, you hadn't regretted your choice.
"Let's get you back to my place. I'm sure that you're tired."

It was a bit of an adjustment period after getting back to the states. Lena had tried her best to get you as comfortable as possible but there was only so much she could. The prosthetics that she made for you helped make a great improvement on your mental health but it didn't help with the nightmares. They kept you up at night, making it difficult for you to get any sleep. Lena had taken notice but she figured that you would eventually come to her about them. You always talked to her about your problems.
"You haven't been sleeping? Have you?"
Lena brings up one day, after a month of patiently waiting for you. If she let you continue like this, you were going to get worse.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"(y/n), you're up earlier than I am. You look like you're about to fall asleep at any second during the day. I'm worried."
"Lena, I'm fine. I can deal with being awake most of the day."
"(y/n), you're no longer in the army. This isn't healthy for you."
"I know!" You take a deep breath, calming yourself. "I know that I'm not in the army. I'm fine Lena. Just drop it."
Lena sighed and had no choice but to drop it. You had changed ever since you had come back and she had no idea how to help you.

"I'm worried about her Kara. She won't let me help her. I'm the only one that she has left and I'm afraid that if she doesn't let me in that she'll just continue down that path."
Kara gave Lena a hug.
"Why don't you bring her to game night? It'll distract her from the nightmares that I'm sure she's having. I can even talk to her if you'd like."
