Sometimes Kara Danvers absolutely hated being Supergirl. Ultimately, she would always love the feeling of saving people with her powers. She loved being able to help people. But when a Fort Rozz alien got loose, she was always called in by the DEO to help. And of course, one would have to escape during her date.
Kara had apologized profusely to Lena for having to leave. "I'm so sorry I keep skipping out Lena. I… just.. My sister is going through a rough patch. I promise I'll make it up to you?" Kara blurted out after she returned from her call. She made Alex at least let her have two minutes to make up a good excuse. Lena, to her credit, just gave Kara that wide smile that always made the Kryptonian's stomach flutter and heart beat increase.
"Go Kara. It's alright. I understand. You're a good sister. We'll continue this later?" Kara nodded furiously.
"Yes! Don't think you're getting rid of me that easily." The pair laughed.
"Call me later?" Lena asked and Kara nodded affirmatively.
"Of course." Kara leaned in and captured Lena's lips briefly. Kara would never get used to kissing Lena Luthor. But maybe that was a good thing. Kara pulled away because she knew if she pushed it any further, Alex was going to kill her for being late. And possibly letting the escapee get away. Besides, the sooner she took care of this, the sooner she'd be able to talk to Lena again.
"I'm sorry." Kara apologized again before scampering off. On her way out of the building, she heard Lena whisper to herself, "I hope she's okay." Kara frowned slightly, but didn't have time to give it much thought as she shed her clothes and took off towards the DEO.
It only took Kara, with the help of the DEO, a couple of hours to apprehend and lock up the escaped alien. Once everything had been secured, Kara was in a hurry to rush off. "Alex, are we done here?" She asked her sister impatiently. Alex gave her superpowered sister a knowing look.
"Eager to get back to your girlfriend, huh?" Kara blushed.
"She's not my girlfriend." The blonde insisted. Alex just smirked.
"Yet." She teased. Kara just rolled her eyes and groaned. Truth be told, she really hoped that the two would eventually take that step. Into labeling their relationship. But for now, Kara knew it would be difficult. Kara was keeping half her life from the CEO. And that wasn't conducive to a healthy relationship. It wasn't that she didn't trust Lena. She trusted her with her life. But Kara had no idea how to approach it.
And if she was honest, she was worried it would affect how Lena saw her. She knew that Lena wasn't as anti-alien as her family; mostly her brother Lex. But Kara couldn't get the alien detecting device out of her mind. It was unfair of her to judge Lena on the gadget, though. After a long talk with Alex, she came to understand Lena's point of view. And while she didn't agree with it personally, she felt a little sympathetic to the CEO. Her sister was right, there are bad aliens out there. And it had only been recently that the humans were aware of their existence and having to deal with that in the only way they knew how. It was a process for everyone.
But Kara knew, if she wanted something more out of Lena, she would have to come clean. 'But not today.' Kara thought to herself.
"You've got your thinking face on again Kara, what is it?" Alex prompted. Kara turned her head to look at her sister, contemplating on confiding in her. Alex had been surprisingly supportive of her choice to go out on a few dates with Lena Luthor. She thought that Alex would have been a little judgemental, not because Lena was a woman, but because she was a Luthor.
"I… You're right Alex. I want to date Lena." Alex grinned.
"See, the first step is admittance." Kara shoved Alex gently and the two laughed.
"I guess I'm just afraid of how all of this," Kara gestured to their surroundings at the DEO, "will affect our relationship." Alex put a hand on Kara's shoulder.
"Hey. You trust Lena, right?" Kara nodded. "Then she'll be okay with it. You've got a strong sense of intuition Kara. Sometimes you can make boneheaded mistakes, but your heart is always in the right place. I trust your judgment on this one. And I know J'onn will too. Eventually." The two chuckled at the thought of J'onn ripping into the two of them for telling, yet another person about the DEO and the Supergirl secret.
Kara decided to change into a set of spare clothes she kept at the DEO and then text Lena. It was only eleven in the evening and Kara figured the CEO was still up. Probably working on paperwork or something. She decided to send off the text first.
"Hey. My emergency is all finished up, you mind if I come see you? I'll even bring dessert if you want. So we can finish our date."
Kara set her phone down on a nearby desk as she went to pull a pair of jeans and a sweater over her super suit, tucking the cape into the bodysuit itself. Somedays Kara would just carry an extra large bag around with her when she wanted to wear something a little bit lower cut than her suit would allow.
She heard her phone buzz as she sat down to put on her shoes.
"Get me chocolate ice cream?"
Kara laughed to herself. Her… Lena had a thing for chocolate ice cream she had figured out after going out with her a couple times.
"Sure, I'll see you in a few."
Kara rushed off to a local convenience store to pick up a container of chocolate ice cream for the two of them to share before heading over to Lena's place. She had been to the CEO's penthouse apartment a handful of times before, so she knew her way. The doorman smiled and tipped his hat to Kara before letting her on up. Like her office, Lena had given explicit permission for Kara to be shown up whenever she happened to show up.
Kara nervously rode the elevator to the top floor. She was a little fidgety over the conversation she had with Alex earlier. Did she trust Lena with her secret? Of course. But was she ready to tell it? That, she didn't know yet.
The elevator door dinged open and Kara made to knock on Lena's door. Her super-hearing allowed her to hear Lena's heartbeat pick up slightly as she approached the door. It swung open to reveal a happy looking Lena Luthor. Kara looked her up and down, stopping on the pajama bottoms the woman was wearing, raising an eyebrow.
"I wouldn't have pegged you to own a pair of Superman bottoms." Lena shrugged.
"Supergirl bottoms actually, but the difference between their symbols is so minuscule no one really notices the difference." Kara was taken aback before she got a good look at them, and true enough, Lena was telling the truth. Her symbol was ever so slightly different that Clark's but she couldn't believe she had missed it. Kara had been surprised when Lena had admitted to her that she was kind of a nerd. But Kara thought it was endearing. And cute.
She stepped into Lena's apartment, heading over to her kitchen and setting her offerings of dessert on the counter before turning to look at Lena. The usually very well put together woman had obviously relaxed for the evening. Kara had personally never seen Lena like this, but she enjoyed what she saw. Perhaps even more than her daytime look. Lena's hair was pulled up in a messy bun, most of her makeup had been washed off for the night, and she rocked a tank top and her Supergirl bottoms.
Those bottoms, though. Kara felt her heart swell a little bit that Lena would bother to own them at all. It gave her a little bit of hope that when she divulged her secret, that Lena would be okay with it.
"I hope…" Kara started before Lena cut her off.
"You're not disturbing me Kara. I wouldn't have agreed if you were." Lena replied to a question that Kara hadn't even voiced yet. "Don't give me that look. I know you." Kara huffed.
"Fine. Well, this ice cream isn't going to watch itself." Lena laughed, grabbing two spoons out of a drawer and handing one to Kara.
"Up to watch a movie or something?" The CEO asked. Kara nodded. She didn't have work the next day unless another alien escaped. And if one did, she was going to punch the living daylights out of it if it interrupted her time with Lena. "The Matrix?"
"Eh," Kara replied, giving Lena a wishy-washy gesture.
"Ok. How about Indiana Jones?" Lena tried again.
"Only if it's Raiders." Lena smiled.
"Raiders of the Lost Ark it is." The two settled down together on Lena's couch after Lena had pulled the movie down from her vast collection of films. They started the movie and opened up the container of ice cream that Kara had brought over.
The two got about halfway through the film before they started to get wrapped up with each other, rather than the movie. Lena had initiated, but Kara wasn't going to back down. She was normally an awkward, overly embarrassed woman, but with Lena, especially in private, she always felt more confident.
Lena had, gradually into the evening, interlaced their fingers and began playing with Kara's hand and wrist. The superhero felt her skin slightly tingle at the sensation, but let Lena continue. And before she knew it, Lena's lips here on hers. Kara allowed herself to meet Lena halfway and pushed back with just as much force.
Kara was immensely enjoying herself as she felt Lena's hands wander. She was so caught up in the moment that she didn't give it another thought and instead allowed herself, with a little help from her super strength, lift Lena up and onto her lap.
The CEO yelped at the sudden movement, but adjusted quickly, pressing her body closer to Kara, her hands framing Kara's face, grasping her at the neck. The two made out in this position for a few minutes before Kara felt Lena tugging at her sweater slightly. Without thinking, Kara allowed Lena to lift it over her head.
Kara felt Lena immediately stop moving. She opened her eyes to see Lena staring, slightly wide-eyed back at her. Kara frowned before following Lena's line of sight down to her chest. Kara wished she could be swallowed up by the Earth. Or at least had been on Krypton when it exploded at the moment.
The Kryptonian was so caught up in the passion of the moment that she forgot she had her Supergirl suit on under her clothes and when Lena had removed her sweater, she had revealed the suit. Lena seemed to come to her senses quicker than Kara as she raised an eyebrow.
"Is there something you want to tell me, Kara?"
'Crap.' Kara thought to herself. "Well you see... It's like this…"
A/N: Can't help myself. I'm complete trash for Supercorp. I know there was some sort of prompt on Tumblr inquiring about this and while it may have colored the ending of this, I wanted to write something along these lines anyways. But yeah, another one shot. Little longer than the last one. Enjoy.
