Chapter Text
It must have been a week. Lena’s injuries had begun to fade away, but it still hurt when she moved a certain way, or put too much pressure on a body part.
She hadn’t talked to Kara for the entire week, it wasn’t as if the hero hadn’t tried. Lena had lost count of the messages and voicemails Kara had left on her cellphone.
Lena hadn’t read or listened to most of them. She was ignoring her for the most part. They couldn’t be together. Once Professor Night ruled the city again, any of Lena’s friends would instantly become a target. Supergirl might be invulnerable, but the hero’s friends and family were not.
And, of course, Lena would have to get rid of Kara herself if she wanted to rule National City. How, the villain wasn’t certain. Her injuries gave her a great excuse to sit and wait, ignoring the dilemmas that had become inevitable.
She petted her bot absentmindedly. Frederick seemed less active since Kara left.
Beep! One of her drones had picked up a new image. It was Supergirl, but she wasn’t taking down some criminal or rescuing a kitten from a tree. No, she seemed to be waiting. She waved at the drone and it flew closer.
“Hey, Professor Night! You come out of hiding this instant and face me like the villain I know you are!”
Lena knew the hero was baiting her. She groaned as Kara shouted a few more choice words to egg her on.
“Fine.” Lena jumped up and summoned her suit to her, teleporting to Kara’s location.
“What do you want?” Lena called, floating in the sky above Supergirl.
“We have to face each other eventually,” Supergirl called back, making no movements.
Lena flew at her, ready to land her first punch. Supergirl took the hit and didn’t strike back as Lena threw another blow. Lena yelled as she put all her energy into a single punch that landed into Supergirl’s chest. Supergirl skidded across the dirt and Lena stood over her.
Ugh. This felt wrong. She didn’t want to do this. Hurting Kara was as painful as hurting herself. Part of the villain cursed herself for her weakness, but she finally acknowledged to herself that taking Supergirl down was too high a price to pay for ruling the city.
“I don’t want to take you out,” Lena admitted. She stepped back, shaking her head.
“Then don’t,” Kara said, standing up.
She moved slowly towards Lena, putting a hand on the side of the villain’s face.
“I saw you for who you really are Lena. I know there’s good in you.” Kara’s face shone with such faith and determination that Lena found it hard to look at her.
Lena turned her head away. “That was a lie,” She spat. “You’re just deluding yourself.”
Supergirl placed her hands on her hips. “I know that’s not true. I felt what we had. Are you going to tell me that was a lie too?”
Lena couldn’t tell her that. The words simply wouldn’t come. She looked down at the dirt, utterly at a loss.
“I never thought I would fall for a villain, but here I am.”
Lena pressed a button on her suit and it disappeared around her. Leaving her standing in a simple black getup, with her hair still done up in a braid.
“I won’t become a hero. I can promise you that. I’m a villain through and through. So if you don’t like that, you might as well take me to prison now.”
“We both know you’d get out.”
“Maybe.” Lena smirked. “I still want to rule this city, Kara. Even putting aside what the means for us, it’s going to create enemies. Other villains will come after the people I care about. If that doesn’t work, they’ll go after the people they care about. It won’t stop.”
The hero stared at her. “I’m already a superhero. You think I don’t know the risks? I don’t have all the answers right now, Lena. But we’ll deal with it together. If we can take down your brother, we can take down anything. And as for our...conflict of interest, well, we’ll sort it out.”
“We will?” Lena asked.
“I can’t bring myself to arrest you. You can’t bring yourself to hurt me. As long as you don’t hurt innocents, I can...live with who you are. You’re more of a hero than you realize,” Kara said firmly.
Ordinarily, those words would have produced a harsh rebuke from Lena. But the villain was suddenly tired. Tired of fighting with Kara. Tired of resisting her feelings. Without her realizing it, her feet moved her forward and into the hero’s arms.
Kara chuckled and pulled her in for a kiss. Lena melted into it, silently cursing herself for how easily she fell for the hero.
“Can we stop fighting?” Kara asked.
“Please.” Lena agreed.
“You know, we never really got to celebrate after defeating your brother.”
“What are you suggesting?”
“Your place did seem very nice last time I was there.”
“You’re lucky I have a teleporter handy.”

Lena was making their dinner as Kara cleaned herself up. She lit the last candle on her dining room table. It had been a long time since she’d done something as fancy as this, and she didn’t have guests back then. She could hear Frederick beeping and Kara speaking softly to the bot.
Lena looked up to see Kara standing before her in a gorgeous dark blue gown instead of the Supergirl outfit she had arrived in.
“Wow,” Lena breathed out. She felt incredibly underdressed in her simple dark clothes that she had been wearing underneath her suit.
She had no clue why Kara was interested in her. But she wasn’t going to complain.
“Fredrick said you wouldn’t mind if I borrowed one of your dresses.” Kara said.
“Right. I forgot I even owned that.” Lena told her.
The hero smiled down at the meal that Lena had prepared for them. “Lena, this looks amazing,” Kara smiled, sitting down at the table.
“I tried my best.”
“It looks delicious.” Kara already began to dig into the pasta Lena. “Sorry, high metabolism.”
“Right, of course.” Lena watched, intrigued. “So you don’t need your glasses to see at all then.”
“Nope.” Kara blushed. “It’s part of my disguise as Kara Danvers. No one would suspect an awkward nobody to be Supergirl.”
The villain smirked. “I did.”
“Yeah, but your superpower is how smart you are.”
Lena smiled at the compliment.
“Is your intelligence the whole reason behind the name, Professor Night?”
The villain shook her head. “Trust me, I didn’t choose it. I’m not even a Professor. But it serves its purpose.”
Kara nodded as she wolfed down some more food.
“Supergirl is a pretty tacky name, if I may so,” Lena remarked.
“Hey! I made it up myself.”
“What, like when you were ten?”
“Maybe,” Kara mutters.
“Shouldn’t you be Superwomen now anyways?”
“Doesn’t have the same ring to it.”
Lena supposed she had a point.
“So what do you do when you’re not being a villain?”
“Well, my life as Lena Luthor died in Metropolis. I mainly spend my time working in my lab.”
“All day?”
Lena nodded.
“I can see why you made yourself a friend,” Kara said, looking down at Frederick.
\
They ate their meal and conversed lightly for the rest of the night. When they were finished Kara insisted that she clean up since Lena made the meal. Lena watched in awe as she used her super speed to get through the dishes.
“Done!” Kara brushed off her hands, smirking.
“My, my, Supergirl. That was quite a show of powers.” Lena smirked, coming over to her side. “You know, I would love to learn more about your abilities. Run some tests.”
“What kind of tests?” Kara asked, biting her lip.
“Just the kind to see what you can really do, how strong you really are.”
Lena leaned in and kissed her. Kara grabbed the villain and pinned her against the wall, causing Lena to gasp. She pulled her deeper into the kiss, sliding her tongue into Lena’s mouth. She grinded her hips against Lena as her hands ran down her back. Lena gasped at the movement, grasping at Kara’s hair. The next thing she knew Kara was picking her up with one arm like she weighed nothing.
“God, you’re sexy,” Lena moaned, wrapping her arms around Kara’s neck and her legs around her waist.
Kara carried Lena into her room, dropping her off on the bed with a thud. Lena laughed as Kara jumped down on top of her, placing kisses along her neck.
“Please,” Lena begged, grinding herself against Kara’s leg.
“Patience,” Kara hissed out, as she went back to kissing the villain. Her hands hooked onto the bottom of Lena’s shirt.
Lena raised her arms for Kara to pull it off. They only broke away from each other’s lips for barely a second of air. Lena reached over Kara’s back and pulled down the zipper on the dress. Kara stepped back, letting it fall off and leaving her in nothing but her underwear.
The villain licked her lips at the sight. Kara was built like the goddess she was. Lena beckoned Kara back onto the bed and allowed the hero to lay kisses across her torso, pulling her pants down. She planted a kiss over her stomach and Lena cried out.
“Get on with it,” Lena ordered.
“Yes, ma’am.”
The next few minutes where a blur of kisses and heated touches. They helped each other strip out of their undergarments and worshiped each other’s bodies. They cried out each other’s names as they came down from their highs. They basked in the afterglow, panting from exhaustion. Kara wrapped her arms around Lena as she laid down next to her on the bed. Placing a light kiss on her cheek as Lena began to drift off.
\
Lena awoke the next morning to find herself tangled up in the Kryptonian’s arms.
“Kara?” She whispered.
Kara shuffled slightly, but didn’t open her eyes.
“Kara. I need to pee.”
Kara groaned and pulled her closer.
“Kara,” Lena laughed. “I’m serious.”
“Fine,” Kara groaned, letting her go.
Lena slipped off to the washroom returning to find Kara sitting up in her bed.
“God, you’re gorgeous.” Kara stared up at her in awe. “I could get used to waking up to this.”
A flutter of anxiety settled in Lena’s chest. “You could?”
Kara hummed as Lena came to stand in front of her. Kara wrapped her arms around Lena’s waist and placed light kisses on her torso.
“Yeah. I could.”
“I enjoyed it too,” Lena said, stepping over her to crawl back onto the bed. “You just got corrupted by a villain.”
“Worth it,” Kara smirked.
Lena chuckled. “So are you sure you really want to do this?”
“You promise me this isn’t some part of an evil scheme?” Kara asked jokingly.
“Promise.”
“Good.” Kara pulled her into a kiss. “Besides, I plan on turning you good.”
Lena glared at her. There was no way she was turning good. Sure she had fallen for the hero, but that didn’t mean she was suddenly one herself.
“We’ll just have to see about that,” Lena said, kissing her back
