Chapter Text
Admittedly, Lena realizes she shouldn't be surprised.
In her time of her dating the Girl of Steel, Lena had he fair share of bizarre situations.
But this?
This had taken the cake, probably an entire bakery actually, for the weirdest thing Lena had witnessed.
The day itself had been rather bland, scarce board meetings, no deadlines, and reports to fill. This lack of interest prompted lena to visit her girlfriend at the DEO for lunch. Maybe she could pick apart Alex and Winn's brains for some ideas on some new L-Corp inventions while she visited.
Lena strolled casually into the building, waving and sending friendly smiles to a few of the agents. Since she had started dating Kara, National City's most famous alien, people had grown more fond of her rather than obsessing over her last name. She was no longer the hated woman from a xenophobic family of murderous criminals, yet a loved girlfriend of the city's protector.
She took notice of the slightly busier atmosphere as she started receiving more and more nervous gazes. Lena took note of the odd behavior by the agents, and chose to ignore it as she walked to Alex's office.
Nervous voices could be heard with the occasional... bark?
Lena frowned in confusion as she knocked softly on the door, squeaking when two arms grabbed her and pulled her in. Eyes glancing quickly around, she saw Alex's face contorted into worry in front of her. Turning, she also saw J'onn and Winn pacing around the room.
"Wh-" Lena bang but was cut off by a high pitched bark from the floor.
She looked to the ground to find a small, blonde puppy racing towards her. Lena flinched slightly as it reached up to claw at her legs, demanding attention from the brunette.
Lena's face dropped in shock at the small creature that was now sniffing her heels before playfully trying to bite them. Lena frowned before moving her shoe slightly only to have the blonde puppy follow her movements, and jumping on her feet.
As Lena turned to Alex for an explanation, the woman just sighed.
"Getting a new a class pet?" Lena asked jokingly, then sobering at their expressions.
She then turned to the dog again, her mouth turning into a small frown.
"Oh dear, please tell me that this isn't," Lena trailed off, not wanting to finish her question.
"The one and only," Alex spoke and then moved to rub her temple.
"How is this even possible," Lena said as she willed herself not to react badly to her girlfriend being turned into a domestic house pet.
Although was there really any other way to react?
Alex offered a small shrug," She was trying to stop this alien, but the alien pointed what looked like a small gun at her. After her shot her, Kara transformed into this."
Lena's face was transformed with disbelief, How do we change her back?"
"Well Winn and I will have to study the changes made and figure how to reverse the alien technology. Then, maybe, we can change her back. Until then," Alex walked over to gather a leash and collar," You have just acquired a new pet."
"Why me?" Lena asked her.
"Because you can be trusted, and you just so happen to be her girlfriend," Alex gave her a smile while trying to hide her amusement," Haven't you two always wanted a pet together."
"Not if she is the pet!" Lena called after the woman, who was now exiting the room," And I'm a cat person!"
Lena gave a baffled look after her, and then turned to J'onn and Winn. Surely they wouldn't just leave her right?
Wrong.
They managed a brief sympathetic look before following Alex out of her lab.
"I preferred it when everyone was cautious of me being a Luthor!" Lena called after them one last time.
She looked down and sighed at the small creature who was occupying her feet. As Lena studied her more, she could recognize the breed as a Golden Retriever.
How fitting she was a puppy.
Lena moved to place the collar and leash on the dog as she noticed the logo's. Multiple Supergirl crests littered the items. Lena snorted at the irony before clicking the collar into place.
" Alright Kara, lets go for a walk," Lena gave a small smile to the puppy's perked ears at her words.
She quickly lost her smile as she was tugged forward forcefully, almost tripping at the strength of such a small dog.
"Guess you didn't lose your excitement," Lena grumbled as she sped to catch the dog.
//
Lena decided she did not want a dog.
She chased after Kara as the dog sped throughout the park, weaving between people and obstacles. Lena panted as she struggled to reach the blonde blur.
Her legs burning after running for so long that she thought it was hopeless.
She finally captured her as the puppy had stopped to play with some geese at the pond. Rather bothering them until they finally chased her. The geese would chase her until she backed away. Satisfied with her response, the geese would turn away. Kara would then run towards them while barking loudly, irritating them.
Lena grabbed the leash firmly, and proceeding to scold her.
"Bad girl Kara!" Lena said in a firm tone," Bad girl for running away." This elicited a satisfied 'honk' by the surrounding animals who had moved to go back into the water.
She felt her heart stop as Kara whimpered in return to her words, casting her head downwards.
Lena sighed before lightening her voice," Let's go buy you some toys, huh? And we will get you some food, won't we? Would you like that?"
Kara bounced excitedly at Lena's happier down before moving to jump at her.
"Of course that excites her, " Lena grumbled.
//
Lena stared irritably at the vast collection of chew toys and other dog products. Her eyes switching between products as she tried to calculate everything she would need for this. She didn't understand why there had been so many brands and varieties to choose for. She also wasn't sure which was the best for a puppy.
She carefully selected a food and watering dish, and then moved to grab a dog bed. Moving further into the aisle, Lena started to debate what toys to purchase. She saw Kara move to grab a squeaky toy before giving it a testy bite, pleased with the squeaking sound she contained to bite. Lena took away the toy, and went to put it in the basket.
"A pizza squeaky toy? Who would have guessed," Lena said while rolling her eyes.
Her eyes flickered to something on the next rack before smirking at the small puppy," Oh this will do fantastically."
Lena grabbed the Supergirl suit, complete with it's own cape, and started to chuckle. She would later consider the adorable pictures she took as payback for Kara dragging her through a park.
She then proceeded to gather the rest of the needy supplies and took the basket to the cash register. As she stood in line, Kara started to playfully bite on her pants leg. Lena shook her off, but Kara was determined as she chased her foot.
"Keep that up, and you wouldn't be sleeping in my bed for a while Kara," Lena threatened.
The cashier gave her a small look before smiling," Seems like you two are close. I don't allow mine to sleep with me."
"You have no idea," Lena spoke through gritted teeth, taking her bags and Kara's leash. They quickly exited the store and left for Lena's apartment.
//
At Lena's apartment, Kara had a field day. The sounds of paws running throughout the apartment could be heard as Lena typed up some emails for work. the noise eventually came to a halt as she could feel a small body jump on her couch.
Lena felt a wet nose nudge her arm accompanied with a small whine, She sighed before turning to the small ball of fluff that continuously nudged her arm trying to get Lena to cave.
"Kara, I'm busy,' Lena said absently as she tried to focus on a email.
Another whine and nudge caused lena to sigh in defeat.
Her fingers moving through Kara's soft coat gently causing the smaller dog to move into her lap.
Lena moved her laptop as Kara curled into her, dozing off at Lena's stroke.
They sat like that for while as Lena worked and Kara's soft snores could be heard. Eventually Lena had to stretch, causing Kara to move. As the small dog woke, Lena moved her to get off the couch.
Lena walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner, hearing the soft patter of paws following her. She stood at the stove, cooking the dinner while sipping softy on some wine.
Kara planted firmly between her feet.
//
"Not happening," Lena said as Kara whined again," You have perfectly good dog food over there."
Kara pouted slightly at Lena as the CEO caved," Fine, but only once."
Lena soon made Kara her own bowl.
//
"Hold still," Lena said, frustrated with the way Kara kept struggling.
The small dog yipped again before wriggling out of Lena's grip.
Lena grasped her again before turning to wash the shampoo off the puppy," I have imagined us spending time bathing together in a hundred ways, but this was never one."
Kara barked again happily before shaking off the water, which in turn soaked Lena.
"Definitely not my favorite way," Lena grumbled before wiping off the water with her arm.
//
After they were washed and fed, Lena had decided it was time for bed.
She took her place in her bed and moved to turn off the light as Kara whimpered.
"Oh no, that is your bed," Lena pointed to the dog bed in the corner.
Another whimper.
Lena had a silent battle before sighing, letting the small dog into her bed.
If she pulled Kara closer to her in the night, well no one would know.
Until a grinning Alex and Maggie would wake her with the flash of a camera. A smug ' I knew you'd enjoy the new pet' prompting Lena to bury her head into a pillow and groan.
