Chapter Text
Kara reached up and rubbed her eyes under her glasses, staring at a computer screen for a few hours was making her more tired than she already was. Another late night...or was it early morning? Had kept her out til 4:30AM on Supergirl duties and this article for Catco was not going to write itself. She leaned back as far as her chair would let her and outstretched her hands above her head. Feeling her abs flex with the stretch she let out a deep sigh then leaned back forward and got back to typing. After another 20 minutes she hit the print key with finality and with as much human speed as possible jumped up from her chair and walked to the printer room. Nia stood leaning on a printer tray waiting for the copy machine to slowly do it's thing, she turned her head to see who was walking in and instantly beamed when she saw it was Kara.
"Hey! You know I've been in here for nearly 10 minutes now? I seriously swear that no matter how technology updates and changes, printers will always be slow and problematic."
"Right?" Kara agreed "Like last night I was able to stream the new Killing Eve episode and half way through I realized I was using 4G and not my wifi, but my phone didn't even buffer anything! I only looked up cuz Alex texted and about died inside seeing the data symbol. But my phone can do that and yet my computer communicating a few yards to the printer takes 10 years? So not right."
Nia laughed and shook her head and let out a long "exaaaactly."
The two chuckled and Kara grabbed her finished report to head into James' office. "Well good luck, i'll make sure to come back in here and check on you in a month once those copies are done" Kara said over her shoulder as she began walking out.
Nia huffed, "you're so kind."
Kara rounded the corner into Cat Grants old office (she really missed her sometimes) and waited for James to finish instructing an older employee. Once the man turned to head out the door with a small smile at Kara, James widened his eyes in an exasperated way. Kara gave a small knowing smile back to James and quietly asked "Still butting heads on the wording of his interview with the museum director?"
"Nah, that's over with thankfully" James said while rolling his eyes "He actually was begging to be assigned to the, as he phrased it, yacht party"
Ohhh yeah, Kara thought, that was tonight. Lena and a team of her scientists had just made a break through on a tech that can help clean the oceans. It was a huge deal, rumours had been swirling for the last 3 weeks after a very marketed teaser trailer was posted to L-Corps official youtube channel.
"And were you giving it to him?" Kara asked.
James pursed his lips with the hint of a smile tugging at the corners "Actually Kara... I am assigning you"
Kara raised her eyebrows "Wow serious?"
"Yep, assuming you're done with the edit I ha-" he was immediately cut off by a sunshine smile from Kara and an all too quick outstretched hand holding the papers.
"Oh it's right here, all done! So when does the yacht depart? Is it formal wear? Is Lena serving food?" I get to hang out on a boat with Lena oh wow k this is fine this is fine I'm fine....
James held his hands up to get her to slow down. "Okay easy there, I'll send L-corp a memo you're the one coming so they can print you a press pass."
2:36PM
Kara's phone lit up
Lena <3: Hey girlie, just saw you're officially coming aboard! Can't wait :)
5:35 PM
Kara checked her reflection in her mirror after the 14th outfit change and decided "yes, this is appropriate yacht clothing" doing one more slow spin to check the look. She wore business casual black dress pants with a blue nautical striped collared shirt that buttoned all the way down, concealing her uniform (it's a yacht, the nautical theme HAD to apply) She pulled her hair into a cute but formal bun and zoomed out her window. The yacht was departing at 5:45 and she was milking it to the last minute. Something she learned reading a cosmo article. "what to do when you think your crush might like you too." Was to show up at the last possible minute to a party the crush is hosting, so that they keep thinking of you wondering where you are, and when you do show up, they'll be even more happy and relieved! It was genius. Or...is that manipulative? Kara landed discreetly behind a corner and fast walked to the dock and ramp. Oh Rao, what if that is manipulative and she's mad I kept her waiting? Why did I listen to a cosmo article and stress her out? UGH that was so dumb of me I should've been the supportive one to show up earl-
Kara's inner monologue was cut short as Jess (Lena's loyal secretary that everyone adores) greeted Kara and handed her the press pass.
"Just head up the ramp and go in the first doorway, that's the main staging area okay?" Kara hung the pass over her neck and grinned. "Thanks Jess!"
She walked up the ramp and let her eyes scan the yacht. Leave it to billionaire Lena to have the nicest one in all of National City....or maybe the entire country. No, wait, the world! Kara walked through the double doors into an immaculate open room. Floor to ceiling windows covered all sides of the room to offer guests a 360 view, a hot tub, small plunge pool, plenty of sun bathing chairs and, as Kara noted, a classic Lena fully stocked deck bar. Is that a helicopter landing pad? Of course it is. The yacht was stacked 4 stories high, each floor a little smaller than the one below and, with a quick x-ray glance, another 2 stories below deck, she noticed Lena at this point and her heart did a flip, she was coming up the stairs below and going to walk in any second. Kara made sure to adjust her glasses and then she turned to look out the window, acting as nonchalant as possible. The doors opened inward and out the corner of Kara's eye she saw Lena in an absolutely stunning 3 piece business suit Oh..Rao. It was navy blue with a black vest and perfectly tailored to Lena. Breathe, calm down. Inhale. Exhale. Okay.
Several men at this point swarmed Lena with congratulations, words of excitement, and compliments about the yacht. About 45 seconds after walking in Lena's heart beat did the funny jump it always did when Kara would walk into a room, sure enough when Kara glanced up, Lena was looking right at her. Kara gave her a soft smile and nod, which were returned and Lena went into CEO mode and addressed each of the guests in front of her. Kara assumed most were the invited investors.
A reporter from the Daily Planet approached Kara with a friendly wave and outstretched hand at this point, his name was...Tom? I think Tom. "Hey, so you're the lucky one chosen by Catco for this shindig, huh?"
Kara shook his hand. "Yeah, pretty crazy right?"
"So crazy, my kids are super jealous!" They continued small talking until Kara cut him off mid sentence at the smell of food wafting in "Oh gosh! Sorry, they're bringing in food and I'm starving!"
The man (who didn't reintroduce his name assuming Kara remembered his, and at this point it was too late to even ask) patted his dad bod belly and said "Oh trust me I've been waiting since breakfast for this."
Kara had to laugh at how pathetic her appetite was, she'd been waiting since 4.
The food had been brought in and Kara was just walking away from dishing up her 3rd plate when Lena finally had time to break away and come over to her. "Hey," she said with a smile, catching Kara mid bite of an amazing stuffed crab. "Mmmhey!" Kara quickly wiped her mouth and swallowed. "You could have given me a signal and I would've rescued you from that swarm you know?"
Lena raised an eyebrow at Kara. "Oh I know, I figured if I got all that unpleasantness out of the way it would give me more time with you now though."
Kara had to fight the urge to smile but she felt the tips of her ears burn a little. "Good strategic thinking then."
"So." Lena took in a deep breath. "Ready to meet my child I've been working so hard on?
Kara beamed her classic smile at Lena. "Oh I'm very ready, it's kept you away from too many game nights, it better be impressive... uh, no pressure."
Lena smiled with her tongue between her teeth. Why, why is she so adorable? "Yeah that's been the worse part of this. I'm very ready to resume those nights, I haven't forgotten last times Mario Party betrayal when you stole my star on the last turn!" Lena gave a joking huff.
Kara folded her arms mockingly, "Well it's fair and square in the rules of the game, I waited to the very end so that you wouldn't steal it back!"
Lena squinted her eyes. "Well now who's the strategic thinker?" They both chuckled and Lena glanced towards the front of the room, then looked back into Kara's eyes, inhaling deep through her nose. "Okay, time for me to put on a show. Wish me luck?"
Kara winked, adding an enthusiastic "break a leg!"
Lena glanced back over her shoulder one last time at Kara after she walked away and Kara gave an encouraging thumbs up.
The presentation began when the lights dimmed, Kara and the other reporters all pulled out their phones and Kara hit play on the voice recorder. A canvas screen and projector slid down through the ceiling and a more detailed teaser trailer than the youtube one from a few weeks ago began playing. It was really impressive Kara had to admit, and was going to seriously impact the ocean for the greater good. It was a type of device that could be attached to large ships, mostly freight boats going in and out of ports. This was a huge breakthrough and Kara was already thinking up article drafts in her head when out the corner of her eye she spotted a man who had not been a part of the dinner party. He glared at Lena with a look of absolute hatred.
What is this dudes deal? Kara kept an eye on him, knowing her phones voice memo was at least recording the presentation. Kara glanced toward Lena and saw one of her scientists sitting behind her was awfully fidgety and, yeah sure enough, he's staring at that man. They know each other... Maybe the other guy isn't glaring at Lena but at the guy just behind her?
Sudden applause broke Kara away from her thoughts and the lighting in the room lifted, Lena's presentation was over and she was opening the floor for questions from investors and reporters.
Lena handled it all so coolly, some of the questions were truly hard hitting.
Tom whateverhisnamewas raised his hand, "Ms. Luthor, when can we expect this to go into the waters?" Lena coily smiled, "Right now, David (oops Kara thought) there's one attached to my yacht this very second as we cruise the bay!" Applause broke out through the room and with that she concluded the Q&A. Kara looked towards where the sketchy man had been standing and saw now that he was gone, she quickly scanned the room as she made her way up towards Lena but still couldn't find him. Odd.
Lena shook several hands as Kara approached. "That was seriously amazing, this is so great Lena!"
Lena gave Kara a genuine smile that reached her eyes, "I'm really glad you think so, I'm surprised you didn't ask any questions though."
Kara widened her eyes a little. "Oh, uh, yeah you know... 'I was distracted.' I figured if I had any I could just reach out to you?"
"Mmm." Lena hummed, "taking advantage of me then, huh?"
Kara really went red at this one and sputtered. "N-no I never. That- pssh what no?"
Lena threw her head back laughing and touched Kara's shoulder, "I'm just giving you a hard time darling, you're always welcome to come to my office and grill me, you know that."
Kara gave a nervous laugh "Yeahhhh I do."
Lena went to take a step back just as an eager investor approached her at too quick of a pace with a plate full of shrimp and tartar sauce. Kara had been too enveloped with the casual touch on her shoulder that she wasn't able to stop Lena turning before the two collided, getting white sauce all on the back of Lena's suit jacked.
"OHHHHH no oh no Ms. Luthor I am SO sorry!"
Lena quickly rested her hands on his arms. "Hey, hey it's all good. This cleans off! I'll just step out real quick, accidents happen!" She gave him such a reassuring smile that Kara heard his heart rate actually slow down.
"Hey Kara," Lena turned back to look at her. "I admit I'll need some help changing, wanna come down real quick with me?"
Kara swallowed hard. "Yeah, of course!"
The two quickly walked to the back doorway Lena had initially walked in from and descended down the stairs. "Ugh." Lena let out a disgusted grunt, finally out of the public eye. "I get that it was an accident but I seriously love this suit, of course that had to happen before the press photos."
Kara gave a small chuckle "It really is a nice suit..like...realllly nice."
Lena side eyed her, "Mmm I had hoped you would think that."
Kara just sheepishly smiled, words getting stuck in her throat. She had to swallow, then quickly changed the subject. "Hey Ms. Luthor I actually do have a question for you." Kara asked as they landed at the bottom of the stairs.
"Yes, Ms. Danvers?" Kara felt her neck grow hot at that but then got serious, "I spotted a guy that one of your scientists seemed nervous to see. Brown hair, thick brows and a beard? Does that ring a bell?"
Lena thought for a moment. "I'm...actually not sure who that would be. Which scientist was looking at him?"
"The dirty blonde guy that looked about 50."
She took a moment. "Oh, Marcus, he's newer. It's... largely because of him we were actually able to advance. We had the general idea but could tell we were missing something, another scientist on my team named Rachel said she had an old colleague that specialized in marine engineering. Sure enough he had the idea for the final piece to our puzzle....and that can be your Catco scoop." Lena said winking.
Kara grinned, "I appreciate your time then Ms. Luthor." Lena gave her signature coy smile in reply just as they arrived at a doorway down a thin hall. "Now to get out of this tartar sauce soaked outfit" she held the door for Kara and they both walked in, Lena shutting it behind her.
The room was fairly small, it wasn't even a bedroom, more like a storage room with supplies. "Sorry it's not an extravagant room, I'll have to give you a tour of the whole place once everyone is gone. I had all the rooms locked in case people got curious or snoopy."
"Nah, that makes sense." Kara agreed. "I'll admit some of the other reporters here were looking like they wanted to go sneak off and explore, try and catch some kind of dirt on you."
Lena gave a small snort, "The only dirt I got on me right now is actually stinky sauce." To which Kara rolled her eyes and Lena continued. "Which ... I'm just glad I had the foresight to pack for a clothing accident just in case. You always have to be prepared."
She pulled a dry cleaning bag off a hook from behind a pile of boxes. "Here's why I needed your help."
It was a breathtaking sleeveless black dress. Like I thought the suit was gunna kill me but I'm going to actually be dead now. This thing is just drop dead gorgeous.
Lena drew Kara back to reality by stating, "I can never zip this thing up on my own.." while removing the dress from its bag. She then laid it across a box and began unbuttoning her suit jacket. Kara started turning a shade of pink. Wait this is seriously happening? She's just undressing right here in front of me? With that suit.. oh that jacket is coming off now, oh boy okay.
"Wait, do you want me to step out and then just zip you up after?" Kara nervously asked while pointing back towards the door behind her.
"Oh I'll be quick this will just take a second." Lena said with a hint of amusement in her voice.
She slowly removed the vest. Is she making a show out of this? No way, keep your mind clean Kara.
Lena, now just in the under shirt with suspenders over her shoulders latched to the high waist pants, gave a smirk to Kara. "Think I should say 'screw it' and just go back up like this?"
Why am I so goddamn gay?
"Nah, nah you're the one who set business casual as the dress code and that's..that's totally too casual. (I dont think my brain could handle seeing her like this another minute.) What would other reporters write if they," Kara faked a gasp and clutched at her chest dramatically. "Caught you in a fashion emergency, oh just think of the online articles."
Lena acted just as scandalized, "Why, my reputation would just be ruined!"
The two laughed as Lena reached up to unbutton her shirt. Kara was doing everything she could to not look but it was harder than lifting a semi truck. She stole a glance for a moment and saw Lena was down 4 buttons, quickly glancing away again and aware of her ears turning red as she did, she actually had to picture lifting a semi truck to distract herself.
The truck lifting fantasy was suddenly interrupted by a soft pitch that started ringing her ears and then slowly grew louder.
Kara turned towards the noise, her eyebrows furrowing. "Wait, Lena, do you hear that?"
It continued to grow louder. Kara adjusted where she was looking, the sound was coming from her left and down below. She lifted her hand to her glasses to take an x-ray peek just as Lena glanced over at Kara.
"Hear wh-"
There was a loud pop that then reverberated up through the hull of the yacht with a jolt. Lena grabbed Kara's arm to keep her balance. "What was that?" Lena asked, her voice gaining a fearful edge.
Kara looked at Lena to answer that she wasn't sure, when the kryptonian felt the air pressure change in an all too familiar way.
"LENA! GET DOWN!"
An explosion rang out through the ship, launching both girls backwards. Kara quickly grabbed Lena as they hurdled towards the back wall. She spun her position and let the full force of the wall hit her back, holding Lena in a protective embrace. She quickly opened her eyes and to her worst fear the room was starting to fill with water through the bottom cracks of the door. Lena was holding her head with her right hand but keeping a tight grip on Kara's left forearm.
"Lena, we need to get out of here, right now!"
Lena didn't answer, Kara spun her around to face her. "Lena, hey?"
"Sorry...ears are ringing... hang on.." Lena stretched her jaw out and stuck a finger in her right ear, squinting her eyes as she waited a few seconds. "What the hell was that?" She glanced up into Kara's eyes and saw the fearful concern just as she felt the cold wet on her feet. Her eyes went wide and she jerked her head down.
"Oh SHIT!"
Lena released herself from Kara's hold and ran towards the door, turned the handle, and pushed...but it wouldn't open.
She spun her head back toward's Kara with a frantic look. "Kara it wont budge, something might be blocking it!"
Kara quickly ran up to it, water already above her ankles, "Here let me!"
She pulled down the handle and gave it a nudge with her shoulder. It gave only a little. Sure enough something was on the other side blocking it. Kara gave one more nudge, extremely conscious of what could pass as human strength and again, it moved maybe an inch.
Lena grabbed Kara's right shoulder, "You hold the handle down and we will both push."
Kara nodded and set her left shoulder against the door. But even with Lena's help and the water now to their shins, she gave a little more strength, yet it only budged enough that the door handle didn't latch back into place.
The panic Kara now felt wasn't towards their safety but that this small room and situation were about to be the revealing location of her long kept secret.
Lena paced back towards the wall they'd been slammed against, wading through the water that was below her knees now, then made an abrupt turn and took a running slam at the door, it opened about 2 inches but with the gap came a faster gush of water that nearly knocked Lena over. Kara steadied her, keeping a hand on the small of her back, she quickly lowered her glasses to scan the ship. Her and Lena were luckily the only ones below deck. Others above were already jumping off with what she figured were life jackets, she could even hear the mayday call going out and the small sound of an air raft being inflated. It was just her and Lena in danger.
Lena began frantically banging the door yelling for help while Kara made one more effort to push the door. Lena's running slam had shifted whatever was on the other side and Kara got it maybe another 2 inches.
"Hey, see if you can squeeze through this!"
Lena attempted to slide through but only her thigh would fit. She pulled back with a disgruntled sigh. Even more water continued flooding in and it was past their waists now to the bottom of their ribs and climbing. It was nearly to the point they'd start floating up to the ceiling.
Lena grabbed onto Kara and held her close. "Kara I am so sorry, I am so so sorry." It sounded like she was fighting back a sob. Kara buried her face in the crook of Lena's shoulder and neck.
"No, I'm sorry....Lena...There's something I need to tell you."
Lena pulled back and looked into Kara's eyes, a sort of finality and almost calm to her face. "There's no time to tell, just show me." She breathed out quietly. Leaning in closer to Kara's face.
Kara nodded and reached up slowly to take her glasses off, but just as her hands grazed past Lena's face, Lena grabbed Kara's and pulled her lips against her own. Kara's eyes went wide with a moment of shock and then fluttered shut.
Lena's kiss was desperate, and mirrored what Kara felt was like years of pent up tension having to be conveyed in the 20 or so seconds they had til their heads were under water. Kara's chest started burning, and she reciprocated the intensity radiating off of Lena. Completely lost in the moment she moved her fingers up into Lena's raven hair and pulled her even closer. Lena matched by running one of her hands to the back of Kara's neck and pulling her in as she slid her tongue past Kara's lips. Butterflies were doing backflips in Kara's stomach, she felt the water push them up towards the ceiling but Lena was holding so tight to Kara, she was able to half float half fly to keep them level. Finally Kara pulled her lips away, noting how hard Lena was panting and she couldn't help but smile at her...but the smile turned sad as she remembered what had to happen now.
"Oh, Lena" Kara sighed. "It's like you just said...show, don't tell."
Kara lifted her arms to the ceiling, spotting where a support beam was through the wall, and started to push up. "Hold on to me tight."
Lena obeyed and snaked one arm around Kara's waste and the other she kept around her neck.
Kara pushed even harder and the water began to slide down their necks and lower as the boat began to rise. As more of the boat was lifting out and losing buoyancy Kara had to push even harder. Soon the seawater was to their thighs and she knew Lena had to notice that the woman she was clinging to was actually floating mid air while pushing. Kara increased the strength she was exerting to lift the ship more and gave a small grunt. Yeah, Lena Luthor owns the biggest yacht ever which of course is the heaviest too.
She lowered her head to peer over the rim of her glasses to x-ray through the ship and luckily there was a chunk of mainland not far. Kara adjusted her angle a few degrees and now pushed the boat forward, making sure not to hit any of the guests in the lifeboats or floating with life jackets.
"Wh- Kara..How?" Lena must have been squinting her eyes shut but now she was definitely looking down at the only shin deep water that, if she let go of Kara would be no threat at all.
"You can let go now Lena, if you want."
She glanced up at Kara and then her eyes drifted up to see that Kara wasn't hanging by any beams or pipes, her hands were flat against the ceiling and pushing. She looked back into Kara's eyes, the gears turning into place and let go of Kara rather suddenly. It made Kara's heart drop but she had to get the boat parked.
Almost there.
She kept an eye on the depths and finally arrived to where she knew she could set it down.
"Hang on to something, okay? This part may jolt a bit." Lena wrapped her arms around a vertical pipe, still not breaking her stare on Kara and still remaining silent. Kara as gently as possible set the yacht down, it tilted the boat a few degrees at a lopsided angle but they were still able to be upright. Only an inch or two of water remained as it all drained out. Kara very delicately released her hands from the ceiling and remained floating a second, then descended down and stood on the ground. She removed her glasses at this point and placed them in her pocket.
Slowly she looked up at Lena.
"Y-you..." Lena managed to choke out, her eyes beginning to brim with emotion. "You sure could have done that sooner you know!" Her nerves forcing out a laugh.
Kara's eyes went wide and she rubbed the back of her neck, unsure of what to reply. "Yeahhh.." she gave a sheepish grin to Lena "I..I'm really sorry."
Lena shook her head, a soft look in her eyes and walked up to Kara wrapping her arms around her ribs and into a hug. "Kara Danvers." was all she managed to say with the biggest sigh. So much heavy emotion and things unsaid. That sigh of Kara's name said it all though.
Kara lifted her arms around Lena and gave a tight squeeze, they held each other for a comfortable silence until Kara broke it, "We can talk about this in a sec, lets get you out of here first." Kara released the hug and held onto Lena's left hand, guiding her towards the door. Now having no restraint to show her strength, she gave the door a very easy push open.
She peered around the back of it. "Ah, yeah a bunch of pipes got knocked loose and blocked us in." Lena put her free hand on Kara's back and the two emerged from the room that should have been their watery tomb. Lena glanced at the pipes once she was through the doorway and the two silently went up a different set of stairs to the deck. They got to the railing and Lena released her hold on Kara's hand, placing them both on the cold rail. She glanced at the rocky shore below them and breathed in the cool night air. Kara turned to Lena with outstretched arms and a wordless look asking for permission. Lena gave a nod and Kara scooped her up and gently flew her down, setting her tenderly on a rock to sit on.
"Can you hang on here for a minute while I gather everyone else up so they don't have to wait as long for the coast guard?"
Lena nodded once more.
She's gotta be feeling mentally whiplashed right now. Kara thought sadly. Standing up straight she quickly unbottoned her collared shirt to reveal the House of El crest, a small gasp leaving Lena's mouth, as if visually seeing that is what was actually confirming all of this for her.
Kara set her clothes next to Lena, took her glasses out of her pocket and gingerly set them on top of her shirt. She reached up and shook her hair lose, sliding her hair tye around her wrist. Lena's eyes were fixed on her still. Kara then kicked off her heels she'd been wearing and then gave one last look to Lena with an apologetic smile and zoomed off to help the others.
The official story to be printed in the morning paper was that Supergirl, doing a routine fly of the city, heard the explosion and quickly flew over. Grabbed the boat, and set it down on the shore. L-Corp would give an official press release that they were grateful the girl of steel saved everyone's lives and even, jokingly, that Ms. Luthor's yacht wasn't a total loss and could be repaired, with promises of taking Supergirl for an official thank you coastline tour once it was all fixed.
When Kara had finished getting everyone out of the water and onto the coastguard ships that were approaching, she immediately flew back to talk to Lena but she wasn't there. I guess that was more like 45 minutes. I can't blame her for not wanting to sit there all wet and cold. She reached for her phone where she usually hid it in her boots but- oh...i'm barefoot . Kara couldn't conspicuously wear red boots with the attire she'd worn earlier that evening. She remembered then that her phone was in her pants pocket, no doubt water soaked but as she floated down to where she left Lena, even her clothes and glasses were missing. Did Lena take them? Kara turned and zoomed toward Lena's condo and sure enough as she approached it, all her lights were on. She landed on the balcony with a soft thud, and Lena opened the door a moment later as if she had been waiting for the noise.
"Hey, we gotta talk" Kara stated. Lena nodded and turned to walk back inside, leaving the door open.
This might be an absolute disaster .
Kara followed her, gingerly stepping in then spun slowly to shut the door, looking down at the handle for a brief moment and leaning her head against the door.
Okay... here it goes!
She began to turn, "Le-" She was immediately cut off by forceful lips being pressed to hers, the effort pinning her against the balcony door.
Now for a 2nd time that night Lena had completely surprised her by doing this. Kara breathed in deep through her nose and returned the kiss, bringing her hands up to Lenas forearms in a loose grip then traced them all the way to her neck. She leaned her forehead against Lena's but broke the contact of her lips.
"Lena we have to talk about tonight first."
She ignored her and immediately brought her lips back to Kara's, putting a hand in her hair pulling her closer. "mm-mm." she muffled into Kara's lips.
Kara smiled into the kiss a little and she stifled a laugh but pulled back again. "Lena, please, I'm serious."
Lena then opened her green eyes and looked into Kara's with a sigh. "Okay.. but only if I can go first?"
Kara gave a nod.
Lena moved her hands onto Kara's biceps, rubbing the fabric of the supergirl uniform... "I really thought I was going to lose you tonight, its not exactly a surprise now, but I've had feelings for you for... well... for years now? Its embarrassing, but I fit the useless stereotype little too well." Kara smirked at that. "And, in realizing I was going to lose you I had to just act on all the pent up feelings. I wasn't even sure if you would reciprocate them. I mean, I had a hunch and I'll admit I teased the line a few times but suddenly we were out of time and I just couldn't die without knowing what it was like to finally kiss you."
Kara gave her a warmer smile, feeling as if her heart was melting and this time she kissed her, softly and delicately. Like a first kiss should have been.
"Well, now you know." Kara said after pulling away.
"I do." Lena admitted. "But... I always had a hunch about your abilities too. It was still shocking, truly, but at least both my hunches were right." She stated with an air of overconfidence and a smirk, which turned into her mockingly sticking her tongue out at Kara.
She's so cocky sometimes, I love it.
Kara raised an eyebrow, "You're kind of being a goofball right now, not your usual self, you know?"
"Well, call it adrenaline I guess..." Lena let out a small chuckle, "I definitely need a drink."
She stepped away from Kara and headed to her living rooms mini bar. Kara stayed where she was and folded her arms. "Okay, that sounds more like you now."
Lena rolled her eyes and poured a very generous amount of scotch into a glass and then turned and leaned on the bar. "There's actually a third heavy subject we need to talk about tonight."
Kara walked closer, "Secret identities and feelings aren't enough?"
Lena folded one arm across her ribs and held her drink up to her mouth as she sipped with the other. "No, the important thing now to discuss, Supergirl, is who the hell tried to blow up my boat?"
