Need you now (Kara Danvers x reader)

Love and hate

(this chapter has been re-published)

When the three of you rush over to his house and go in, you see John sat on the armchair. He's waiting, somewhat uncomfortably for the three of you to sit beside him on the large sofa opposite.

"Did any of you see that video?" He mumbles whilst itching the back of his neck.

"Well, the last video we just watched was... Interesting?" You say, tilting your head over to Kara with a frown.

"Lena held M'gann captive."

"What!? We we have to go help her! Right now!" Alex says, whilst alert.

"No, no. It's okay. She's fine now."
John reassures her, before she then sighs of relief.

"Wait... Why would Lena hold M'gann captive?" Alex then asks.

"She broke into her home. I have no idea how she managed it, past the system alarms, but she got in. I got a call from the police to say that M'gann was missing. I tried everything. I tried talking to those that knew her personally, I helped out with search teams. But Lena never popped into mind as someone that could've been involved."

You just thought to yourself for a minute whilst John was talking:-
You'd never met M'gann, but you could tell from how worried John was, that she clearly ment a lot to him. It feels kind of painful seeing anyone get this emotional when you realise that this is a ripple affect, caused by jealousy.

"Then Lena showed up to my front door to tell me that she's found M'gann and wanted to drive me to where she was, and that M'gann was in danger. I didn't even hesitate at the time. So she then showed M'gann in a sealed cage, this was in a compact area, tucked away from her main lab. I asked her why she was locked in her lab. That was when Lena stated threatening me. She said that she'd run tests on M'gann, some of which, could seriously harm Martians. She mentioned that if I don't do what she says, then M'gann will deal with my consequences."

"John, that's terrible."
Kara says sweetly, giving him a hug, since he looks incredibly distressed at this point.

"Lena made me morph into Supergirl, to make it look like you were having an affair."
John admits shamefully to Kara.

"Were you made to do anything else?" You ask, concerned.

"No, that was it. M'gann was freed after that. She told me not to tell any of you about it. But I couldn't keep it in. I hate the fact that I went against Kara's back."
He hisses, angry with himself.

"You were looking out for M'gann. You did the right thing to protect her. I'm glad that you told us though."
Kara replies with a small smile to John, before glancing over at you, slightly emotionless.

"The main thing is that everyone's okay." Alex replies.

Later that day, after catching up with John; everyone goes back home. Alex is downstairs, watching TV in the living room, whilst you and Kara are upstairs in her room, discussing the situation earlier...

"I can't believe that you thought that I was cheating on you!" Kara shouts stubbornly.

"I'm sorry." You mumble quietly.

"So... You'll announce it to me as loud as you can when you think that I'm cheating on you, but I can hardly hear you when your apologising to me!?" She continues to project her voice.

After the arguement is thrown back and forth, you then confess. -

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have trusted Lena over you. I'm sorry for not believing you." You explain softly, with puppy dog eyes.

She looks at you for a moment, collecting her thoughts before calming down and sitting beside you on the bed.

"It's okay. I forgive you." She then gently grips your hand, smiling at you for a moment.

"Right. I'm going to go downstairs and have some of the takeaway that's downstairs, before it goes cold. Did you want any?" You say, in a more lively tone.
Kara just nods.

As soon as you open the door, Kara says one last thing to you... Though it sound very faint:

- "I love you."
