And I Didn't Notice

Chapter 22 (Lena's POV)

  Not edited 

    I don't know what has gotten into Kara. Maybe the news was right and Kara and Supergirl got into a lovers brawl. Every time I brought her up she'd get uneasy. I couldn't help but still be upset with her. She was being rude towards Supergirl and she was just trying to help. Not only that but she left me to clean the dishes, in her apartment!

    I was so focused on the dishes that I hadn't noticed someone was behind me. I hear a fumble behind me near the window. I quickly grab a knife from the sink and pointed it in the direction of the window.

    "Wait, it is just me!" The figure said. I walked closer to only realize it was Supergirl. "I heard you mumbling to yourself, you sounded upset," Supergirl said as she entered the apartment. How could Kara be so upset with her? She is so kind and beautiful.

    "Oh, I am all right Supergirl. Kara just upset me is all." I said as I walked back over to the sink and put the knife away. Supergirl followed me.

    "Kara upset you? Oh, she is harmless." The blonde super said smiling. These two were confusing me. I wonder what they argued about. Maybe Katie would know, she was there last night as well. "Hey, Lena, I could clean all that super fast and afterward we could go hang out." The super asked. She took me by surprise. I looked at the little dishes that were left then back at the blonde.

    "Well, all right, but where would we go?" I asked a bit skeptical. The super began cleaning the dishes. It was quick. Once she was done she moved out of the kitchen and towards the window.

    "We could go out to eat. I know you just had breakfast but I haven't had anything to eat." She said. Out to eat? Like a date? Their fight must've been bad because Kara hardly ate as well. I hope she isn't working herself too hard at work. I grab my coat and then approach Supergirl at the window.

    "All right but um, are we flying?" I asked, worrying the answer would be 'yes'. The super had a huge cheesy smile plastered on her face. That meant we were flying.

    "Don't worry. It is just to get outta this apartment. I don't want people seeing me walk around in this building. After we get outside we could, uh, walk and talk to our destination." Supergirl said nervously. This couldn't be a date, she just sees me as a friend and she has Kara, sweet loving Kara.

    "You have a deal Supergirl, but won't we cause a commotion if we go out with you wearing that suit of your's?" I asked a bit worried that we wouldn't be able to go out. Supergirl looked down at her superhero outfit and shrugged.

    "Since I am all over the news it wouldn't matter what I wore. Everyone would recognize me. Even if I wanted to change I am not sure I have any clothes left here. That was my, um, my last outfit that I left over." She huffed. I could tell she felt bad about this morning. Now she cannot go out in public because everyone would notice her. Supergirl walked closer to me and grabbed my hand. I couldn't help but hold my breath. This wasn't a friendly 'thank you for saving my life' hug, this was a handhold. "My morning has been rough but it has gotten so much better now that I am going to get to eat lunch with you." She said.

    "Well, I am glad your day has gotten bet-" I stopped short. I have had this conversation before but with Kara. I looked into Supergirl's eyes to find answers. Something was wrong. I was going to ask her about Kara but another breaking news came up on the T.V. screen.

"Breaking News! An attack on CatCo Worldwide Media has occurred,"

    My heart stopped. I didn't even listen to the rest of what the news had to say. I turned to Supergirl who was frozen staring at the building on the T.V. screen, the one Kara was in there.
