Chapter Text
Kara opened her eyes. It was hard. Why was it so hard to open her eyes? She tried to remember where she was. She remembered that she was about to call Lena to remind her not to work too late. But then something had happened. CADMUS had shown up and that is when everything must have gone wrong. Based on how bright things were, she was probably back at the DEO under a sun lamp. So at least she was safe.
“Lena?” she croaked. Her voice sounded like gravel.
“I right here Kara,” came Lena’s voice from right next to her.
Ah so that was the wrath that was lying on the bed next to her. She knew now that she was safe. Kara stared to try to sit up but her body felt heavy. So instead of moving her whole body she moved her head in the direction of Lena’s voice. She needed to see her to make sure that Lena was real. She she saw Lena she was struck by how beautiful her eyes were. She had seen those eyes a million times and every time they took her breath away. Kara knew that she would never get tired of those perfect green blue eyes that held so much depth so much love.
“I love you,” said Kara. Her lips formed the words as if they were the most natural thing in the world. Kara gazed into Lena’s eyes she looked like she was about to cry.
“Don’t cry,” she said.
“How can I not cry, I thought I’d lost you,” said Lena.
“I would never leave you,” said Kara with so much confidence that Lena wanted to believe her.
“I know Kara. And I love you too,” said Lena.
“I wish I could kiss you right now,” said Kara.
Lena look at her with concern. In her happiness she she had failed to see how hard it was for Kara to move. Now that Kara had brought it up she suddenly realized that Kara had not even moved to sit up. This was worrying.
“Don’t worry Lena, I sure the stiffness will ware off. But for now will you help me sit up?” Kara asked. If it had been anyone else even Alex she would have been irritated at having to ask for help to do something as easy as sitting up. She was Supergirl she was the one who was supposed to be the one helping but this was Lena, and Lena made everything better.
Lena helped Kara to sit up. Then she set on the end of the bed facing Kara. She was worried that Kara didn’t have the strength to sit up on her own. But she believed that Kara would get better. Kara and Lena set and talked to each other. It had only been about sixteen hours but it seemed like forever.
“
Where is Alex?” asked Kara, it had been an hour since she had woken up but it seemed that no time had passed at all.
“I think Maggie took her home so she could get some rest, I heard J’onn and her arguing about it earlier.”
“We should probably call her she’d want to know I’m up,” said Kara.
“Yes as much as I want you to myself she needs to know,” said Lena with a smile on her face.
Alex ran into the room. She had tears in her eyes.
“Kara I was so worried,” she yelled cried. She wrapped her arms around Kara in a tight hug. Kara melted into it but her arms didn’t seem to want to move. Alex pulled away.
“Is there something wrong?” she asked.
“I am having trouble moving right now,” said Kara. “I will be fine, it already getting easier to move my fingers.” Kara wiggled her fingers. Alex did not seem convinced.
Two weeks later.
Lena was sitting at her desk. She had just gone to work two days ago after taking personal leave. She looked at the clock it was noon she should have lunch soon. She was just about to call Jess to place an order for lunch when she heard the sound of feet landing on her porch outside her office. She smiled. Kara had only been clear to fly a day ago. Soon she would be ready to resume her hero work, something that made Lena a little worried but also very proud. Kara walked into her office. She had brought food. Enough food to feed a family of four, or one human and one very hungry kryptonian.
“Thought you might be hungry,” said Kara.
She placed the food out on the desk and pulled up a chair. Lena got up from her desk and pulled Kara into a hug. Kara hugged back. It felt so good to have Kara’s strong arms around her, to know that she had made a full recovery. Lena pulled away. Then she pulled Kara into a kiss. Lena knew that she had made the right chose to buy that ring that was at the very moment hidden deep in her desk.
