Chapter 3: Kripto
One year and two months ago
Kara was baking a cake or rather trying to bake one, it was her way of dealing with her new unemployment
Minutes later her best friend, Lena Luthor, appears and invites her to a press conference for a new technological development, but what catches Kara's attention is Lena's attitude when she tells her that CEO of that company was her ex-boyfriend. The blonde does not like what she feels at all, Lena was going to meet her ex and that was revolving around her head, it was infuriating ... it made her uncomfortable. Her best friend tells her that she was with Jack for two years and that the relationship ended before moving to National City, that was even worse. Kara wanted to support Lena and decided to accompany her, she was not going to leave her alone, she would never do it
Jack makes a spectacular presentation and for a moment is watching Lena, seeing her in the audience, she holds his gaze and from there everything is a torture for Kara who does not understand why she feels this way, Jack bothers her and she does not even know him. They were about to leave when Jack intercepts them, greets them and uncomfortably hugs Lena who presents her formally. Kara feels like a violinist and prefers to leave them alone
A short time later dead people begin to appear and Lena has a date with the alleged perpetrator. Kara is not going to let Lena be another one of his victims so she decides to investigate more and it happened to interrupt the blissful date with the help of Mon-El. Supergirl finds the evidence she needs and to her surprise Jack was not responsible for the attacks, her technology was stolen by his assistant and she was the one responsible for everything. The assistant was arrested and sentenced for her crimes
Are you going out with him again? - Kara asks curiously as they have a coffee
You know, we kissed that day- says Lena and Kara's blood boils - but I did not feel the same, I thought our love story was going to rise from the ashes however I have changed as well as my feelings- the CEO looks at Kara's eyes and gets lost in them- I wanted to deny my reality, but I can't avoid what is in front of me. So no Kara, I'm not going to see him again
Even if he is in love with you- Kara asks- because it is quite obvious that he still feels something for you and if he intends to get you back ...
It's not going to happen- Lena interrupts and takes the blonde's hand- I do not love him anymore, Jack was my boyfriend but I'm sure hes not the love of my life
The girls caress their hands in support and Kara can breathe again because her best friend is back
A couple of months later
Kara was super excited as she planned Lena's birthday party
The CEO did not have many friends, but little by little she got to know Alex, Maggie, Winn, James and they welcomed her into their group although at first they had their reservations
Lena could not stand the fatigue after such a heavy day she just wanted to lie in bed and sleep, and it was her birthday, but only the Luthor family knew what the actual date was and Lilian would never bother to wish her a happy birthday. However, great was the astonishment of Lena when entering her pent-house and listening to "SURPRISE" and there was her adorable blonde with some of her friends wishing her a happy birthday
Kara- says Lena with one of those smiles that she only has for the blonde- it was not necessary that you did this, I do not even know how you found out
I would never let a special day go by unnoticed - says Kara - you are very special to my Lena - she says in her ear
Lena spends the best of her birthday in a long time, all thanks to Kara. The CEO has everything that anyone would like to have, but the gifts she receives move her heart, she feels part of a group where she is accepted despite being a Luthor.
You are having fun? - Alex asks with a glass of whiskey in his hand
better than never- Lena smiles
And you have not seen the last surprise of the night- Winn adds
What? - Lena asks
You'll see- says Maggie
James says goodbye to Lena and goes with Winn because he has to work early and it's a weekday. An alien emergency occurs and Maggie is called by the police like Alex by the DEO but it is something simple and does not require the help of Supergirl, Sanvers says goodbye and this is how the girls are left alone
I knew they could not stand the voltage of my parties - Kara jokes
It's true - Lena follows the flow - thank you very much for doing this, you do not know how important it was for me
The girls cross glances and Kara stops her impulses to kiss her- I forgot, I still have not given you my gift
Kara is not necessary, the party was more than enough- the CEO says
No, let me pamper you in your day- says Kara- just close your eyes
A couple of minutes pass, Lena opens her eyes and meets a Golden Retriever puppy
This gentleman needs company, what better than being with you
Kara, you know I can't accept it, I do not have time to take care of a dog- says Lena while caressing him
Just look at it, it's perfect for you -says Kara- and Lena can't help comparing it to Kara, the dog was as adorable as she was and the CEO was already becoming fond of it.
It's difficult saying no to that little face- says Lena and she takes him in her arms, the dog gets even happier
Do you keep it? - asks the blonde
Yes- says Lena- I will do something to take care of him
No problem, I can help you with him- Kara offers
Then he will be the most beloved dog, but how do we put him- Lena asks
Kripto - Kara proposes almost immediately I had thought about it in advance - you asked me what my Kryptonite was and apparently he is yours
I love the name, it's original- says Lena who leaves the puppy on the floor, Kripto is distracted by the toys that Kara bought him
I already knew that you could not refuse and while you were distracted I arranged everything necessary so that he could be here with you, dishes, food, toiletries, toys, everything - says Kara
You had everything planned - says Lena with a big smile
Everything to see that smile, everything to make you happy- Kara says and gets lost in her beautiful green eyes
Lena can't contain herself anymore, stops thinking and gives her a kiss, she is about to withdraw her lips until she feels that Kara responds to her kiss with the same fervor. The blonde deepens the kiss and the girls get carried away by what they feel
I was dying to kiss you- says Lena against her lips- for expressing what my heart feels
You're not the only one- Kara confesses- I've wanted to do it for so long, but I was afraid of losing you, I can't lose you Lena, I've never felt like this ... never
This time it's Kara who kisses her and her emotions intensify
Without realizing they arrive to the room between kisses, the clothes are thrown around the penthouse and soon they give themselves to each other
Lena wakes up naked in Kara's arms after the best night of her life
Good morning- says Lena
Good morning- responds Kara and they kiss
Did you sleep well? - Lena asks
Better than ever - the blonde kisses her again, Kara wanted to feel Lena again but her stomach made an annoying interruption
I'm hungry- Kara says and smiles
That's what I hear- says Lena- come and I'll prepare something for you
I love the idea, but I want to have you in my arms for a while- says the blonde, Lena lets herself be hugged, they share more kisses and caresses
Half an hour later, Lena is cooking with Kara who does nothing but distract her with her kisses
Kara hugs her from behind and kisses her neck, the CEO turns a little and kisses her on the lips
Why that face? - Lena asks after kissing her and seeing her with a frown
I have to go to work- says the blonde- and the least I want is to separate myself from you
I do not want that either, but I could stop by your apartment tonight, what do you think? - Lena asks
I love the idea- says the blonde- we have to talk about what happen between us and how we are going to face it, I could not just be your friend again after knowing that you feel the same as me, not after tasting your lips and feel you mine
Well it's good that you and I think the same thing- says Lena and gives her another kiss
Now come, that breakfast is going to get cold and I do not want you to be late because of me - says Lena- we already know how Snapper is
Present
I do not know how you convinced me to do this- says Maggie
I need moral support - says Kara - that's enough reason
Lena is surprised to know that Kara and Maggie are in their apartment she gives them access so they can pass their security ring
Kripto gets excited, goes around like a madman, gets close to the door waiting for Kara, he already felt her presence, he adores Kara
You miss her- says the CEO to Kripto- me too ... but do not tell her
The blonde smiles just before entering because with her super ear she could hear that, she still has hope
Hello- Maggie says and tries to cut the tension, but Kripto does a better job as he runs out excitedly to meet Kara, so much that he almost takes down
I have also missed you Kripto- says the blonde with emotion and caresses the dog
Hi -replies Lena but she does not take her gaze awayfrom the blonde
Hey- Kara says timidly- we wanted to greet you and visit Kripto- he says while caressing him
Please get in- says Lena
The girls sit in the living room and Kripto remains distracted with Kara until he remembers Maggie and focuses on her
I can't stand it and I came to visit Kripto- says Kara- you do not know how much I missed him
It is clear that he has missed you too- says Lena and the girls are left staring at each other
Maggie breathes deeply because it was obvious that they were not talking about the dog - why don't you kiss each other and stop torturing us so sweetly?
You told her? - Lena question surprised
Love, she ... -says Kara and the CEO glares at her
I'm a detective, it's my job- says Maggie- I blame myself for not having noticed before
Lee- Kara uses that nickname with love
Kripto, come, let´s go for a walk your moms need to talk in private- says the detective and without saying more she takes the dog
My Love ... I could not help it- says Kara
Was I the last to find out? - asks the CEO and completely changes the subject as an idea comes to her head - all your friends know you're Supergirl, everyone knew but me ... incredible
I wanted to protect you- says Kara- you are the best thing that has happened to me in my life and I would not forgive myself if something bad happens to you, all the time I have spent with you is special, you are my home, my life ... I do not know what to do so you can forgive me ... My love, I regret having hidden that part of me, not being honest with you, I just ask for another chance, please give me another chance
You said it yourself, there is a risk if we are together- says Lena- and in reality you do not know the great danger you are in, you are one of the strongest beings on the face of the earth but you are not invincible
My love, I know how to take care of myself, I can protect you- reaffirms the blonde
Everything was very different with Kara Danvers- confesses Lena- I saw our life together, in family with our children, sharing with all the people that are important in your life ... you know that my family is the opposite of yours ... I am alone and little by little you have become the most special person in my life, in the woman I love
There is nothing that stops us Love- says Kara and takes her hand- we love each other and we can't be one without the other, I do not know how to be happy without you
Kara launches at her and comes back those lips that she has missed so much and Lena kisses her with delicacy and that deep love they feel
I love you- says Kara
And I love you too- responds Lena and Kara moves to kiss her again but the CEO stops her
My love ... - the blonde complains against her lips
I need time Kara - says Lena and the blonde does not like the idea of being separated longer from her girlfriend - this is not a good idea and you know it ... she's going after you and has the power to destroy you, you and I together would only make the situation worse
We are stronger together - says Kara- I will not stop fighting for you
The blonde tries again and steals a kiss
Kara ... - Lena says with her eyes closed and breathes deeply- go, your kisses cloud my reason
This time away from you is killing me- says Kara
I need you to leave, I love you but what I told you is true and I am still very hurt ... I do not know how we could continue in a relationship if there is no trust, if you do not trust me- says Lena
I'm not perfect Lena, I was wrong- Kara says with tears in her eyes- Love ... forgive me
I do not know what's going to happen Supergirl- says the CEO with a mask of strength, although it was collapsing inside - it's best for you to go
We came back! - Maggie says effusively when returning with Kripto who howled softly as he saw Lena and Kara - the detective stops as she feels the tension
Lena can't help but cry to see Kara saying goodbye to Kripto, it was as if he was saying goodbye to her
Can I visit him? - Kara asks sadly
You are allowed to be here at any time, you can visit whenever you want- Lena replies but avoids her gaze
And you? - asks the blonde hopeful
Do not pressure me Kara- says the CEO, her decision hurts both of them, but she has to do what is best for her
I love you- Kara says, but she leaves without waiting for Maggie
As soon as the blonde leaves Lena leans on Maggie to cry, Kripto tries to comfort her but he does not succeed so he stands at her feet to keep her company
I love her Maggie- says Lena- I do not know what to do
Just follow your heart - advises Maggie
A couple of days later
Miss Luthor- says Jess and looks at the man in front of her with the face of few friends.
Tell him to get in- says Luthor
Hello Lena- Jack says with a huge smile when he saw her, he wanted to hug her but Lena walked away before he could do it
Hi Jack- says Lena and invites him to sit on the sofa- you only come to National City on business.
That's not the only thing that brings me here - says Jack and offers her a flirtatious smile
Be serious Jack- says Lena with a smile
Sometimes I would like to go back in time to avoid losing the most important person in my life - says Jack seriously, having made the right decision would have changed his life
Our relationship is in the past and there is going to stay- says Lena without leaving room for doubts or confusions- I continued with my life Jack and my heart belongs to someone else
I was an idiot thinking that I still had an opportunity after so long - says Jack
Let's talk about business- Lena offers to change the subject
Hardworking as always - Jack smiles - but it's true, you have some any suggestions to the information that he sends you about the project
Did you send me something? - Lena asks - to L-Corp?
No, the information is confidential and I can't use electronic means, I sent it to your personal address, to your apartment- says Jack- did not you receive it?
Probably yes, but you know that before anything comes to me there are many security rings - says Lena although she was just following the flow because her security team had not notified her of any correspondence and she knew how Jack was financially and assumed which were his intentions - you know I have to protect my life at all costs
It's true - I was foolish not to think about that - and I did not bring an extra copy with me
If you want to go to my apartment, I invite you to have lunch and you can tell me in detail about the project where you want L-Corp to invest- says Lena because she wants to give her friend a chance
I love the idea- says Jack
30 minutes later they arrive at the penthouse
I cook while you tell me- Lena says and suddenly Kripto runs out to greet her
Hello Kripto, I'll give you something to eat, too- Lena says as she bends down to caress him and pamper him a little
I did not know you had a dog - says Jack and wants to stroke him with his hand but to everyone's surprise the dog growls at him
Kripto what's wrong with you?- Lena asks surprised by the attitude of the animal who is still annoyed by the presence of Jack
Come, calm down and behave - says Lena and takes the dog reluctantly
I do not know what's wrong- says Lena- It's the first time I've seen him behave like that.
I'm a complete stranger to him, it's understandable - says Jack
Lena sees where she left her dog and is still confused, it was a very strange attitude in him
Lena cooks while listening to Jack's proposal, which was a futile attempt to get afloat, to get out of the bankruptcy in which her friend was because everything came down from the scandal with his assistant, he lost money, his reputation as a scientist lied on the ground and with good reason
Once they have lunch and Lena knows all the details, she decides to speak clearly
Jack, the truth is not a good business for the company and I do not see feasibility - says Lena with sincerity and without detours
But Lena, you do not see the big picture - says Jack
Because I see it I'm telling you, Jack, it's not viable- says Lena- it's a project that I'm not going to bet on
You're missing a great opportunity- says Jack
Time will tell- concludes Lena
Suddenly they hear that the front door opens and Kripto with incredible strength comes out of the hiding place where Lena left him to the arms of Kara who was just arriving
Hello Kripto- says Kara- I also missed you, beautiful
Kara? - Lena asks with surprise
I did not know you were here- says the blonde with a smile- I assumed you were in the office
Right at the moment Jack appears, Kripto does not think twice growls and runs to him and in the blink of an eye bites him in the leg
Ouch- complains Jack and Kripto returns to the arms of the blonde
Kara bends down and hugs him- good boy- says in his ear
I'm sorry- says Lena- I do not understand what's happening today
The best thing is that I leave - says Jack
Let me see if there is something to heal you, it is the least I can do- says Lena
Do not worry, it was superficial- says Jack- although he limps a bit and Kara does everything possible to avoid laughing in his face- You cooked delicious Lena, I guess we'll see each other again or when you reconsider my proposal
In another occasion it will be- says Lena
Sure you're okay? - Kara asks with a false concern
Yes, yes- Jack says- goodbye Lena's reporter friend- says Jack although in fact he hardly remembered her, he was only interested in leaving before the dog finished with him
Goodbye- Kara says with all the illusion of not seeing him again in his life
A minute later Jack had left without saying more
How did you get in? - Lena asks with curiosity because nobody had announced her
You said that I could come to see Kripto whenever I wanted and I did not think you were here, the least I wanted was to make you uncomfortable - Kara says - your security team knows me, you gave them the order and they did not put any major problems, I did not really know that you were with that guy
You are jealous? - Lena question incredulous to notice the particular tone of voice of the blonde when talking about Jack
How not to be when I feel that with every minute that passes I lose you - confesses the blonde - I know that at some point you felt something for him and seeing them together hurts
Jack is nothing more than a memory of the past - Lena says as Kripto spins around them - you have no reason to worry about him
You say I have no reason, but you still invite him to your apartment, you cook for him- reproaches Kara- she takes a deep breath to calm down.
Do you think I would run out into someone else's arms? - Lena asks while Kripto leaves them alone for a moment and goes looking for something
Not my Love, forgive me, I do not know what's wrong with me- says the blonde and moves a little closer to her- this separation destroys my heart and affects my head.
The blonde does not expect it, but Lena hugs her, Kara responds and tenderly returns the hug
Kara feels that Lena leaves a furtive kiss on her neck, the blonde connects her gaze with Lena's, stops to observe her beautiful eyes and full lips. No one knows who kisses the other but in a moment their lips meet and share a sweet kiss that intensifies little by little allowing the rubbing of their tongues. The kiss ends and the girls join their foreheads enjoying the moment
I suppose Kripto wants a ride-says Lena- seeing her dog in the distance with her leash in his mouth- Come on, she invites her to take him for a walk.
Neither of the two delves into what just happened because it was something that flowed naturally, as well as their relationship
Just before leaving the apartment Kara hugs her from the back and kisses her on the neck, Lena turns around and gives her a short kiss on the lips - this only motivated the blonde more, her hope resurfaced, Lena little by little is letting her enter her life again
Kripto happily leaves that apartment with her owners who, even for a moment, also radiated happiness
