Lena is the first to wake, still snuggled in Kara's arms. Lena feels so happy and peaceful, she doesn't want this feeling to ever end. Lena could literally lay like this all day. But Lena knows they obviously can't, she has to get to work, Alura has to go to school, and Kara also has to go to work.
Lena sighs contently and moves slightly out of Kara's arms to grab her phone on the night stand. When Lena turns it on, she sees that it's 7AM, she has to get up.
"Kara." Lena says, softly, as she strokes one of Kara's arms that is still wrapped around her.
Lena knows that there is no hope for her to extract herself from Kara's grip without waking the blonde.
"Kara." Lena tries again.
"Hmmm uhmmm." Kara hums as she slowly wakes.
"Darling, it's 7AM, I think we both need to get up." Lena says, softly.
"5 more minutes." Kara asks.
Lena chuckles and then turns around so she is facing Kara. Lena then leans in a places her lips on Kara's. Lena is the only one kissing for a few seconds before Kara quickly responds, moving deeper into the kiss. Eventually Lena breaks away.
Kara moans in frustration.
"I'll give you another kiss as soon as we're ready." Lena smirks.
Kara groans.
"Fine." Kara huffs and finally opens her eyes.
"Hey." Lena smiles.
"Hi." Kara smirks back.
"Why don't you have a shower and I'll go wake Alura." Lena suggests.
"You're the best." Kara smiles.
Kara tries to kiss Lena again but Lena moves away.
"No kisses until we are both ready." Lena smirks.
Kara groans once more as Lena gets out of bed.
Lena leaves Kara's bedroom and heads over to Alura's, and then steps inside. Alura is still sleeping soundly. Lena just takes a minute to store this moment in her memory. After a few seconds Lena approaches Alura and gently rocks her awake.
"Alura, it's time to wake up." Lena says, softly.
"Hmm uhmmm..... mo..... Lena?" Alura says, noticing its Lena not Kara.
"Yes darling." Lena smiles. "You need to get up because you have school today."
Alura groans.
"Come on, I'll make you breakfast." Lena says as she picks Alura up out of bed and carries her to the kitchen.
Over the next 45 minutes Kara, Lena and Alura get washed and dressed and eat their breakfast.
At 7:55 the three of them are about to step out of Kara's front door, with Kara preparing to walk Alura to school, and Lena getting ready to head off to L-Corp. Alura still remains in her bedroom, just finishing getting ready. Just as they are about to leave Kara's phone rings.
"Hello?" Kara answers.
Lena then witnesses Kara talk in the phone to someone.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Kara says, and then hangs up.
"What was that?" Lena asks, curious.
"Uhhh... some alien prisoners had a break out last night at one of the DEO facilities. They are currently holding several staff hostage. J'onn needs me to go and put a stop to it." Kara explains.
"Oh, that's terrible." Lena replies.
"Yeah. Uhh.... I guess I'll have to annoy Alex again and fly her here to take Alura to school." Kara says.
"Don't be silly! I'll take her." Lena says.
"Really? But don't you have to be at L-Corp?" Kara asks.
"I'm the boss remember. I can get there when I want. I don't actually have to be at work until just after 9 for a meeting. Up until that point I was just going to do some work at my desk." Lena explains.
"Oh, okay. Well, if you're sure?" Kara asks.
"Of course I am. I'll walk Alura to school then have my driver come pick me up and take me to L-Corp." Lena explains.
"Alright. Thank you Lena, you're a life saver. Literally in this instance, as I'm pretty sure after last night Alex may literally kill me for waking her up to take Alura to school." Kara says.
"Anytime." Lena smiles and then kisses Kara.
Kara kisses Lena back, eagerly.
"I'm ready!!" Alura says, as she approaches Kara and Lena by the front door.
Kara and Lena break from their kiss and look at Alura.
"Alura, I have to go do some Supergirl things, so Lena is going to walk you to school. Is that okay?" Kara asks.
"Yes mommy!" Alura replies, smiling widely.
"Alright, that's good. Let's leave then." Kara smiles.
Kara, Lena and Alura all walk out of Kara's apartment and head down to the street, outside of the apartment building. The three of them of course kind of look like a happy family. Once they arrive on the sidewalk Kara turns and smiles at her daughter.
"Okay, you have a good day at school. I love you." Kara says as she crouches down and takes her daughter in for a hug and a kiss.
"Love you too mommy." Alura replies.
Kara then stands up and moves closer to Lena and takes her in for a gentle kiss.
"Thank you again for doing this, and I'll see you later." Kara grins.
"Hmmm.... okay." Lena smiles, made happy by the kiss from Kara.
"Okay, I really have to go now." Kara says as she gets another alert on her phone.
"Bye Kara." Lena says.
"Bye mommy." Alura waves.
Kara then takes a quick look around and then whips her glasses off and shoots up into the air and flies away.
Once Kara is out of Lena and Alura's eyesight Lena turns to Alura with a smile, holding out her hand for Alura to take.
"Let's go." Lena smiles.
Alura nods and happily takes Lena's hand. The two ladies then begin the walk to Alura's school.
After about 5 minutes of pleasantly walking hand in hand in silence Lena turns to Alura.
"So Alura, do you have any ideas where I should take mommy on our date?" Lena asks.
Alura turns and looks at Lena with a big grin.
"Mommy loves looking at the stars. She says it reminds her of Krypton. Take her to see the stars." Alura smiles.
Lena smiles widely down at the young girl.
"That sounds like an excellent idea darling, thank you." Lena grins.
Lena and Alura then move on to talk about random things before they arrive at Alura's school. The two then head inside and make their way to Alura's classroom. Once they step inside, they are greeted by Mrs Landingham.
"Good morning Alura. It's nice to see you again Miss Luthor." Mrs Landingham says.
"Hello Mrs Landingham." Alura replies, sweetly.
"Please, I told you, you can just call me Lena." Lena replies.
Mrs Landingham just looks at Lena and nods with a smile, before turning her attention to Alura.
"Alura, why don't you put all your stuff away while I talk to Lena, then you can come back over and say goodbye." Mrs Landingham suggests.
"Okay." Alura nods then turns to Lena, "Please don't leave before you say goodbye to me."
"Of course I won't darling." Lena replies with love and adoration written on her face.
Alura nods and makes her way to the back of the classroom to hang up her backpack and put all her things away. As Alura does this Mrs Landingham approaches Lena.
"Is everything okay with Miss Danvers? I usually see her drop Alura off, and if she can't her sister does it." Mrs Landingham asks.
Lena smiles at the teacher for caring so much.
"Kara's fine. She just was called away for an urgent work thing that couldn't wait, so Kara just asked me to walk Alura to school for her." Lena explains.
"Oh, well it's good you were close by." Mrs Landingham comments.
Lena begins to blush at this comment. Mrs Landingham notices Lena blushing then a look of realisation spreads across her face.
"Oh my. I apologise. I didn't mean to.... suggest anything.... it's none of my business." Mrs Landingham says, awkwardly.
Lena takes a few seconds to compose herself and get her blushing under control.
"That's alright. You have nothing to apologise for. But Kara and I are in fact dating." Lena says with a smile.
Mrs Landingham smiles back at Lena.
"Well, if your affection for Alura is anything to go by, Miss Danvers is a very lucky woman." Mrs Landingham says.
Lena chuckles.
"I think it might be the opposite of that." Lena replies.
It is now Mrs Landingham's chance to chuckle.
"Anyway, as you are here there is something I'd like to ask you." Mrs Landingham says.
"Of course." Lena smiles.
"In about two weeks the school is putting on lecture for several years in the school, including Alura's, to showcase women in the workplace. The school wants to encourage the young girls and show them they can do anything. So I was hoping that perhaps you could spare a few moments to just stand up and talk to the children for a bit?" Mrs Landingham asks.
"Oh, that sounds like a wonderful idea. I'll have to check my calendar to make sure I have time, but if I do, I'm more than happy to participate." Lena smiles.
"Great! We're still figuring out a day, but once we do, I'll give the details to Miss Danvers to pass along." Mrs Landinghams says with a smile.
Lena nods and then Alura appears once more.
"I'm finished Mrs Landingham." Alura says, sweetly.
"That's good. Why don't you say goodbye to Lena." Mrs Landingham smiles.
Alura turn to Lena and looks sad.
"Bye Lena." Alura says as she hugs Lena around her legs.
Lena crouches down and takes Alura in for a proper hug.
"Bye Alura." Lena says as she places a kiss on the four-year-old's cheek.
"Will I see you again today?" Alura asks.
"Uhh I don't think so. I have a lot of work to do. But hopefully I'll see you tomorrow or Sunday." Lena smiles.
"I.... okay." Alura replies, sounding disappointed.
Lena takes Alura in for one last hug.
"You have a good day at school." Lena says.
Alura nods and then Lena stands up and heads out of the classroom.
Once Lena walks out of the school she heads over to where her driver has parked his car, having texted him to come pick her up from the school while she was walking Alura to school. Lena approaches the car and gets inside and heads off to L-Corp to start her day.
After dealing with a few Supergirl issues at the DEO and around the city, Kara flies in to work at CatCo. Kara is in a very good mood. Of course Kara is usually always in a good mood, but today it is different. Today Kara feels like nothing can get her down. None of the villains and aliens she fought can ruin her good mood. Kara is simply in such a good mood because she began her day with the woman she, well, the woman she's dating. Kara thinks she might already love Lena, but she thinks it would be silly and dangerous to tell Lena that this early, right? But either way, Kara just loved how she woke up with Lena in her bed and then the two of them worked together to get Alura ready to school, like a true team. Kara can't help but picture a future. A future where Lena and Kara are together and Alura is their daughter, just one big happy family, with Alura finally having two loving parents, instead of just one. But of course, for now, that dream is just that, a dream. Although Kara knows, and hopes, that with every passing day Kara and Lena move closer to that dream she has.
So, Kara is really happy when she walks into CatCo, carrying an even large smile on her face than usual. Kara doesn't think there is a single thing or person that can ruin her day or her good mood.
Kara walks through the office toward her desk, smiling and waving at all her fellow workers. Kara then sits down and gets on with her research for the next article she wishes to write. Kara researches on her computer for a few hours before she is interrupted by a cough. Kara looks up and is surprised to see James standing in front of her desk.
"James, Hi." Kara smiles, not having seen James since before Christmas.
Of course, Kara is such a forgiving person that she has decided to forgive and forget James suspicions of Lena. Kara just hopes that James will move passed that, and while he may not like it, he can at the very least accept and support Kara. Just like a real friend should.
"Hi Kara... Can I talk to you in my office?" James asks, using his head to nod towards his office. An office that used to belong to Cat Grant.
"Sure." Kara smiles as she stands up and follows James.
Once the two enter James' office, James closes the door behind them. James then moves to sit on one of the couches. Kara decides to sit on the one opposite.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Kara asks.
James gets a serious tone on his face.
"I know you probably don't want to hear this, by I need you to listen to me. You can't trust Lena Luthor. She is a cancer. Her family is poison. You know what her brother did, and now she has taken over his company, and has all that tech with who knows how many secrets hidden within it. You can't trust her Kara. If you can't do it for me, or for yourself, do it for Alura. You can't put your daughter in danger, even if there is a small chance. But with a Luthor, it's a great one. You may think you know who she is, but we know from Clark's experience with Lex, that Luthors are master manipulators. Lena could just be manipulating you, waiting for her moment to strike." James says.
Kara's face turns red with anger.
"How dare you speak about Lena like that!" Kara yells, fuming. "I thought that perhaps you would have had some time over the last few weeks to actually think things through and make a reasonable decision. But I guess that was too much to hope for. All you are doing is putting all that Lex baggage on Lena. You are judging Lena by the actions of her family. I expected better of you James. But I guess that was too much to ask!"
"Kara, you have to listen to me!" James protests.
"No! No, I don't! I won't stand here and listen to your trash talk my girlfriend. The woman that I..... The woman that I trust, completely, and whole heartedly." Kara says, angrily.
"Girlfriend?" James questions, surprised.
"Yes! Lena is my girlfriend. So, don't expect me to just let you bad mouth her. If you do I promise you that you will regret it." Kara says, basically growling at James.
"Kara, I'm just trying to protect you. You obviously can't see things clearly!" James says.
"Protect me? Ha! I don't need you or anyone's protection James. Don't condescend me!" Kara yells.
"But..." James begins.
"And another thing..." Kara interrupts, "If you really wanted to protect me, and you honestly thought that Lena was capable of doing something terrible, you would have actually come to the cabin with us. But instead you went to Metropolis. So don't lie and claim this is for my protection. All this is about is your own ego and pre-emptive opinions you have already made of a person."
"Kara..." James tries.
Kara stands up angrily.
"You know what?! We're done. Until you apologise to me AND Lena you are not my friend anymore. Consider yourself uninvited from all future events!" Kara says.
"You can't be serious!" James says, shocked.
"Do I look like I'm joking James?" Kara glares.
James looks at Kara's face and can see that she truly isn't joking, she's deadly serious.
"Fine, whatever. Choose Lena over me. But when it all blows up in your face, and it will, don't come crying to me. At that point it will be your own damn fault!" James says.
Kara clenches her fists and literally wants to punch James to the next continent. But Kara knows he's really not worth it at this point. So instead Kara just turns her back and walks away. Of course James had to be the one to ruin Kara's good mood.
Saturday quickly rolls around and Kara prepares for her date with Lena. The previous Friday night Lena, Kara and Alura hadn't spent any time together as Lena had a lot of work to get caught up on, for her to really get a good handle on the beginning of the year for L-Corp. Of course Lena wished this wasn't the case. More than anything Lena would have loved to have just spent her Friday evening hanging out with Kara and Alura, and then falling asleep snuggled in Kara's arms. But that just wasn't to be. Lena actually thinks it may be for the best, despite her disappointment. This is because Lena realised that it would be kind of weird for her and Kara to wake up on Saturday morning and then go on their first date. The duo have already done everything that happens at the start of a relationship out of order, although Lena wouldn't have it any other way. But Lena wants to pick Kara up, take her on a romantic date which she has planned, with a little help from Alura, with her suggestion, and then Lena will see where the night takes the two of them. Lena obviously hopes that it will end a certain way, but after all it is technically a first date, so maybe it won't.
On the Friday evening Kara's friends decided to not have a game night, as they all had spent a lot of time with each other the previous few weeks. Instead Kara just spent a nice evening alone with Alura. It was a very pleasant evening, with Kara not being called out for any Supergirl duties, which honestly was a relief. The mother and daughter just snuggled up on the couch and watched a movie of Alura's choosing. That said, Kara couldn't help but think that something was missing, or more accurately, someone. Lena had already become such a large part of both of their lives that when she wasn't with them it felt strange. But all Kara could do was just make sure Alura felt happy and loved, while also looking forward to her date the next day. A date which Lena texted her about and told her she would pick her up from her apartment at around 1PM.
Presently it is almost 12:45PM on the Saturday, and Lena is due to pick Kara up in around 15 minutes, and honestly, Kara is freaking out. Alex has come over to take care of Alura for the afternoon, and potentially the evening, and overnight. But even though Alex is supposed to be here for Alura, Kara can't help but demand that her sister help her to choose an outfit for her date.
"Alex, come on! I don't know what to wear!" Kara says, freaking out as the two women stand in Kara's bedroom.
"Kara, you've literally tried on about 15 different outfits! They are all fine!" Alex groans.
"No. I don't even know what we are doing on our date! I mean, what if I wear a really fancy dress or something and then Lena takes us hiking or something." Kara says, worried.
Alex chuckles.
"Kara, I don't think Lena is the type to take her first date, or any date, hiking. That doesn't exactly scream Lena Luthor." Alex smirks.
"Well, I don't know that, because this is our first date! I mean, I could dress casual and then she takes me to some fancy restaurant and I'll end up horribly underdressed!" Kara says, continuing to worry.
Alex sighs.
"Kara, I'm pretty sure that Lena really doesn't care what you wear. The only question you have to answer is, what do you want to wear?" Alex asks.
"I don't know! That's the whole problem Alex!" Kara groans.
"Well, do you want to wear something nice and comfortable, yet tasteful, do you want to wear something completely comfortable and not very tasteful. Or, do you want to wear something that causes Lena's eyes to bulge out of her head?" Alex asks with a smirk.
Kara blushes.
"I uhhh.... uhmmmm..." Kara stammers.
"I'll take that as the latter then. Wear your light blue dress, always go with blue. I'm pretty sure Lena will love you in that." Alex says.
Kara grabs her blue dress on a hanger and has a long look at it.
"Okay..... I'll wear this." Kara says with a nod after a few moments silence.
"Great!" Alex smiles and then begins to walk out of Kara's bedroom.
"Now we need to decide my hair!" Kara says.
"Kara." Alex groans as she puts her head in her hands.
Lena arrives for her date with Kara dead on 1PM. Lena isn't one for being late, she likes punctuality. Lena has always thought that the idea of being fashionably late is just rude. In fact, if you don't arrive on time to things that you have planned well ahead of time, without a decent reason, Lena thinks a lot less of the person. But of course, at the same time Lena has no reason to be late for her date with Kara. Lena doesn't want to miss out on a single second that she could be spending with Kara by arriving late. So Lena makes sure that she has her driver pull up to the front of Kara's apartment a few minutes early.
Lena (to Kara): I'm outside, whenever you are ready.
Kara (to Lena): I'm almost done!
Kara: Why don't you come on up. Alura and Alex are still here. I'm pretty sure Alura would love to see you.
Lena: Of course. I'll be right up.
Lena can't help but smile as she puts her phone back in her small clutch bag she is carrying. Lena loves the idea of actually getting to see Alura today, even if it's only briefly. Lena had just assumed that Alura would already be with Alex and so she wouldn't have the chance to see her today, unless their date ended prematurely, and if it did, that probably wouldn't mean she would see Alura either. So Lena jumps at the chance to see Alura before her date with Kara begins.
"I'll just be a few minutes." Lena says to her driver as she opens up her door to get out.
"Of course Miss Luthor, take your time." The driver replies.
Lena gets out of her driver's car and makes her way into Kara's apartment and then up to the correct floor, ending up standing outside Kara's apartment door. Lena then takes a moment to compose herself, making sure she looks good. Lena is wearing a dark blue dress with a plunging neckline, with the dress only going around the side of her shoulders. Lena really hopes that Kara not only likes it, but loves it. Usually, Lena is offended when she notices men, and sometimes other women, staring down at her chest. But tonight, if Lena catches Kara staring at her breasts then she will consider it a success.
After Lena gives herself the once over, she hesitantly knocks on the door. Less than 10 seconds go by before the door is answered. Lena expected Kara to open the door, or perhaps Alex while Kara continues to get ready. What she didn't expect was little Alura to be the one to open the door.
"LENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Alura squeals, happily, literally jumping up at Lena.
"Hello darling." Lena smiles as she steps inside and takes Alura into her arms, holding her tightly and kissing her on the cheek.
Alura giggles happily as Lena gives the young girl several kisses, while Lena walks the two further inside the apartment, closing the door with her foot from behind her.
"I missed you Lena!" Alura smiles.
"I missed you too darling." Lena smiles back.
Alura then looks from Lena's face down to her dress.
"Wow..... you look really pretty." Alura says, in awe.
Lena blushes slightly.
"Thank you darling, you think mommy will like it?" Lena asks.
"Yes! But mommy has been panicking about what to wear and how to do her hair. I think she's driving aunt Alex crazy!" Alura explains.
Lena chuckles.
"Well, I'm sure she will look beautiful, no matter what she decides to wear." Lena replies.
Alura smiles up at Lena again.
Lena then takes the two of them to sit down on the couch, letting Alura out of her arms as she does. Lena then begins to tickle Alura who giggles, all the while she continues to press kisses to Alura's face. The two are eventually interrupted a few minutes later by a cough.
Lena turns around and her eyes almost pop out of her head, just like Kara wanted them to, when Lena sees Kara in a light blue tight long-sleeved dress. The dress is tasteful, yet it hugs Kara's body nicely, showing off all of her features. In fact, the dress is so tight around Kara's stomach area that Lena is pretty sure that she can see a hint of Kara's abs. Kara then has finished her look by tying her hair up, all while wearing the same pair of glasses, which contains her Supergirl suit, that Lena made for her. Lena has to literally stop herself from drooling.
"I thought we were the ones going on a date tonight, not you and Alura." Kara smirks.
Lena shakes her head which breaks her out of her trance and then she gives Kara a questioning look. Kara for her part then points to Alura. Lena turns back to look at Alura and blushes when she realises that she has left several lipstick marks all over Alura's face. Alura of course has a big smile on her face. The young girl seemingly couldn't be happier about the situation. Lena then turns back and smirks at Kara.
"I maybe, perhaps, got a bit carried away. But don't worry darling, I'll reapply some lipstick so I'll have plenty left for you." Lena says with a wink.
Kara can't help but blush.
Lena stands up from the couch and smiles at Kara. For the first time Kara actually gets a good look at Lena's gorgeous dark blue dress, and more notably, Kara gets a good look at Lena's very low cut, dark blue dress. Just like Lena, Kara's eyes virtually pop out of her head as she stares at Lena's chest. Lena takes that as a success.
"See something you like?" Lena smirks.
Kara blushes and goes wide eyed as she looks back up to look Lena in the eyes.
"No... I mean uh... yes... not.... uhh...." Kara says and then clears her throat. "Let me try that again. Yes, I do, you."
Lena can't help but chuckle at how she made Kara so flustered.
"Alright you two, stop ogling each other and head out on your date already." Alex says, making her presence known, standing a few feet behind Kara.
Lena holds out her hand for Kara to take.
"Shall we?" Lena smiles.
"Yeah..." Kara nods, breathlessly, taking Lena's hand.
Lena and Kara both turn back to look at Alura.
"I'm going to go now Alura. You have a good time with aunt Alex, okay?" Kara says.
"Okay mommy. When will you be home?" Alura asks, innocently.
"You're going to have a sleep over with aunt Alex tonight. I'll come pick you up in the morning." Kara explains.
"Someone is being presumptuous." Lena teases as she whispers in Kara's ear.
Alura looks from Kara to Alex.
"We'll have so much fun Alura. We'll play some games, watch some movies, and we'll eat all the ice cream you want." Alex says with a grin.
Alura smiles happily at Alex, ice cream clearly a way to this girl's heart.
"Okay." Alura smiles.
"I'll see you later Alura." Lena smiles.
"Bye Lena." Alura waves as she steps closer to Alex.
Kara and Lena both smile back at Alura as they walk hand in hand as they make their way out of Kara's apartment, with the door closing behind them. The two then begin to walk to the elevator. As they wait for the doors to open Lena grabs Kara and smashes her lips against the Kryptonian's. Kara lets out a little yelp in surprise but soon melts into the kiss, kissing Lena back eagerly. The two then part after about a minute, just as the doors begin to close, which causes Lena to stick out her foot to stop them.
"I didn't think it would have been entirely appropriate to do that in front of Alura and your sister. But you look beautiful darling. Drop dead gorgeous." Lena smiles as the two step inside the elevator.
"Thank you." Kara smiles back, "You look... wow.... Just wow..."
Lena smiles widely back at Kara, happy that her appearance has left Kara so speechless.
"Why thank you darling. I'll take that as a compliment." Lena says.
"It is." Kara nods.
Kara and Lena then walk hand in hand out to Lena's driver's car who is awaiting them, holding the door open for them both.
"Thank you." Kara smiles at the driver.
"Thank you Steve." Lena says as she slides in besides Kara.
"Of course Miss Luthor." The driver nods and then closes the door behind Lena.
"So, where are we going?" Kara asks.
"Well, I thought I'd take you to this Italian restaurant right on the sea front. You can order as much food as you like. Then after I thought we could take a walk, just us." Lena smiles.
Kara smiles back at Lena once more.
"That sounds incredible." Kara says.
About an hour later Lena and Kara are mid-way through their meal, having had nice casual conversation throughout. The two have spent most of the meal just getting to know each other, even more intimately than before. Far more intimately than a usual first date, but neither of them would have it any other way. Kara for her part has taken Lena up on her offer and ordered several dishes to eat all by herself. Kara ordered a pizza, a salad, and two separate pasta dishes. Lena just had a single pasta dish which she complimented with some red wine for the two of them to share.
"So, can I ask about your mother? Not Lillain." Kara asks, slightly hesitantly.
"Of course. What do you want to know?" Lena replies.
"Well..... I kind of want to know whatever you are willing to share. However much or little that is. It's up to you." Kara smiles at Lena lovingly, knowing this is a precarious topic.
Lena gives Kara a nod before taking another big sip of her red wine, preparing herself for the tale.
"She died when I was four years old, so I don't really remember much about her. I know that she worked in Metropolis for a while until I was about 1. I could never get an answer from my father, but I'm pretty sure she either worked for him, or with him, that's how they met. Anyway, once I was 1 me and my mom moved to Ireland where I remember us being really happy. I remember it really just being the two of us. I can't recall any other family members. Lionel certainly didn't visit. I remember us spending a lot of time outdoors. My mom loved the outdoors. I personally loved reading and staying inside, away from the cold, or the hot sun, which always burnt my pale skin. But I loved being outside with my mom. She always made it so fun. We would go and see all these beautiful landscapes and have picnics in these scenic fields. Then when we couldn't be outside, we would snuggle up together on the couch, just the two of us. I have a distinct memory of my mother singing me to sleep, singing me this Irish folk song." Lena says.
"That sounds beautiful Lena." Kara smiles.
"Yeah. But I can't be sure if it's even true. It could have just been my mind making up things after so much time." Lena says, slightly disheartened.
Kara places her hand on Lena's, across the table.
"Does it matter if it's true or not? If those are your memories of your mom, you should just hold onto them, don't question yourself." Kara smiles, caringly.
Lena looks up at Kara and smiles at her as Kara gives her hand a slight squeeze.
"Anyway, that all eventually came to an end. I remember when I was four years old, about to turn five, that fall. It was the summer. It was such a beautiful warm day. My mom decided that we were going to spend the day at this lake that was near our home. We got to the lake and played along the shoreline. Eventually my mom told me she was going to go for a swim." Lena says and then stops, tears starting to form in her eyes.
"Lena.... you don't have to...." Kara says, lovingly.
Lena takes a deep breath to clear her emotions.
"I want to." Lena replies.
Kara just then gives Lena a nod so she can continue.
"I remember watching my mom go in and swim further out, away from the shore. She looked back and smiled at me. She then put her head under the water. Once she didn't resurface after about 10 seconds I started to giggle. I thought my mom was just playing with me, being silly like she used to be. But then after another 20 seconds I stopped giggling and I remember thinking something was terribly wrong. But..... but.... I didn't do anything.... I didn't scream for help..... I..... I just froze.... unable to even move... I mean what person does that?" Lena says.
"Lena, you were only four years old." Kara says, trying to reassure the brunette.
"But I knew what was happening Kara. I knew my mom couldn't survive under the water for that long, but I still did nothing. I could have screamed for help. Maybe someone could have saved her. Maybe she would be still alive today... Maybe I..." Lena says and then breaks off into tears.
Kara quickly gets up and makes her way around the table and takes Lena in for a tight hug.
"I've got you Lee. It's okay. I've got you." Kara says.
Lena just sobs into Kara's hug for a good minute before she is able to compose herself.
"I.... I'm sorry." Lena says as she wipes away the mascara which has dripped down her cheeks.
"Don't apologise. I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to tell me that. As hard as it was for you." Kara says, softly.
Lena nods, still slightly hesitant. Lena kind of hates herself for breaking down like that in front of Kara on their first date. Lena is pretty sure she has completely ruined things for them, for today. She has utterly killed the mood. Kara for her part can tell that Lena is beginning to over think things, so she does the only thing she can think of to reassure Lena that everything is fine. Kara takes Lena in for a gentle kiss.
"It's okay Lee. I'm still here, and I'm not going anywhere." Kara says as she parts from the kiss.
Lena slightly smiles at Kara.
"I... okay.... thank you." Lena says, in a quiet tone.
"Of course." Kara smiles, "Do you want to get out of here?"
"Yeah." Lena nods.
Lena pays for their meal after asking for the bill, and then the two head out of the restaurant and walk hand in hand along the beach front. The two remain silent as they do this, for a few minutes.
"I remember my mom." Kara begins, surprising Lena that after everything Kara now wants to share about her mother. "Growing up I thought she was the most beautiful and amazing woman in the world. She was a judicator on Krytpon, a sort of judge. I looked up to her, so much, although because of her job we didn't get to spend much time together. I... I didn't find out until I came here to Earth that she wasn't exactly as perfect as I thought she was. She sent many, many people to a Kryptonian prison called Fort Rozz. Some of those people should not have been there. She should have found another way. She.... she even sent my aunt Astra, her twin sister, to the prison, after she attempted a coup. And.... and to catch my aunt.... my mother... she used me to do it...." Kara says and trails off.
"Kara I.... I'm sorry... I don't know what to say.... I'm sure she had a good reason. But even if she had her flaws.... that doesn't mean she didn't love you." Lena says, attempting to reassure Kara even half as good as Kara did for her.
Kara nods.
"Yeah, thank you." Kara says as she sniffles away at some tears. "Her name was Alura."
Lena gets a surprised look on her face.
"The same name as your daughter." Lena replies.
"Yeah.... I.... I hate to even say it... but.... if I had known what I know now about my mother, back when Alura was born, I wouldn't have named her after her." Kara admits.
Lena gives Kara a sympathetic look.
"Kara, even if she did some things that were bad, and that hurt you. She was still your mother, and she raised an incredible daughter. You can still honor the good things she did, by naming your daughter after her, while also not liking the other things she also did." Lena says.
"I.... I never thought of it like that.... thank you." Kara says, giving Lena a slight smile.
Lena smiles back at Kara.
The two ladies then continue to walk hand in hand along the shore front, remaining in silence for a while.
"I didn't really mean for our first date to get this emotional." Lena admits.
Kara chuckles.
"Well, it's not really a first date. We've kind of done things out of order." Kara replies.
Lena now chuckles.
"Yeah, I guess you're right in that regard." Lena says with a grin.
The two then continue to walk in silence once more. Eventually they come to the end of the walkway along the shoreline. They have literally walked a few miles together, hand in hand.
"So, what now?" Kara asks, realising the symbolic nature of the situation. The duo have come to the end of the walkway, they could find somewhere else to walk, or stop right there. This is much like the current situation of Kara and Lena's date. The two have come to a point where their date could end, or they could continue it somewhere else.
"Well.... I don't know about you.... but I don't want our date to end here." Lena says.
"Me neither." Kara replies, not even having to think about it for a second.
Lena smiles back at Kara.
"I'm glad then." Lena replies, "So I was thinking that maybe we could head back to my apartment and get changed into some more comfortable clothes and chat, then I wanted to drive you somewhere once the sun has set."
Kara gets a curious look on her face.
"Okay... but I didn't bring a change of clothes." Kara replies.
"That's okay, you can borrow some of mine." Lena replies, not saying out loud how she actually likes the idea of Kara wearing some of her clothes, and maybe, just maybe, she kind of planned for this to happen, knowing she could have just told Kara to bring some spare casual clothes with her.
"Okay then." Kara nods with a big grin.
Kara and Lena make their way back to Lena's penthouse. The couple are driven by Lena's driver. Once they arrive Lena dismisses her driver for the day, saying she won't need him anymore. After this Lena and Kara make their way up to Lena's penthouse, once they step inside they both change into some casual clothes. Before they do however, Kara takes one long good last look at Lena's chest, in that dress. Lena does notice, but she doesn't make a comment, she just grins to herself.
Kara and Lena both dress in a pair of jeans. The pair of jeans Kara wears are slightly looser, especially around the ankles. Then Lena's jeans are a lot, lot, tighter, they really show of Lena's ass, which of course causes Kara's eyes to basically pop out of her head again. At this point Kara is pretty sure Lena is going to kill her with all these alluring outfits. Lena completes her look with a buttoned up shirt which she tucks into her jeans, while Kara wears a t-shirt and a cardigan on top.
After they are dressed, they make their way to Lena's living room area where they sit next to each other on the couch. They then continue their casual conversation for a while, talking about less emotional topics than before. But eventually Kara decides she wants to tell Lena more about herself. She wants this woman to know all about her family from Krypton.
"You know, my father was a scientist." Kara says.
"Really?" Lena asks, surprised.
"Yeah, he was part of the science guild. I was actually supposed to follow in my father's footsteps. I was about to be the youngest person ever to join the science guild, but then Krypton exploded. I remember how I would spend so much time in my father's lab, just playing with him. He would show me all these interesting scientific inventions for hours and hours, and I was so interested. But just like my mother, I guess I saw him too with tinted glasses." Kara explains.
Lena places a hand on Kara's arm.
"Kara, you don't have to do this." Lena says with so much care and affection in her voice.
"I know, but I want to. I want you to know all about my family. I want to share everything with you." Kara says.
Lena can't help but give Kara a slight smile in response.
"Okay then." Lena nods.
"I didn't find out until later that.... that some of the scientific technologies he worked on, they weren't good. He in fact created a virus that would have killed everyone, apart from Kryptonians, in case of an invasion. But of course, the council wanted to prepare it to be used as an offensive weapon, and my father helped them. Thankfully it was never used, but I did have to deal with it on Earth, just after I met you. I've read all the horrors of how humans have used chemical weapons on one another, but I guess my father was no better than them." Kara says, looking very sad.
"Kara, listen to me, that's not true. Your father, he wanted to protect you, to protect all of Krypton from a threat by other aliens. I'm sure that he couldn't really fight the council on it, and it's not his fault that it ended up in the wrong hands. He wasn't like the people you talk about on Earth. Those people committed unspeakable horrors. They purposely used those weapons on people, pressing the button to set them off themselves. Your father never did that, or anything close to that." Lena says, attempting to comfort Kara.
Kara is silent for a moment.
"Yeah.... I guess." Kara nods.
The two remain silent for a moment longer.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make things all heavy again. I just wanted to share it with you." Kara apologises.
"Don't' apologise. I'm glad you shared it. It makes me feel closer to you, and now I know you slightly better than before." Lena says with a slight smile.
Kara looks up at Lena and matches her smile.
"Can I kiss you again?" Lena asks, only asking because they've just discussed a heavy topic and Lena doesn't want to try and kiss Kara if she's not in the mood.
"Yeah.... please..." Kara replies, slightly breathless, lost looking in Lena's beautiful emerald green eyes.
Lena takes Kara in for a tender and loving kiss. Kara kisses Lena back just as tenderly. The kiss continues for a few moments before the two part.
"We should go." Lena says as she notices the sun starting to go down.
"Okay." Kara nods with a smile.
Lena stands up from the couch and holds out her hand for Kara to take which Kara does. The two then walk out of Lena's penthouse, hand in hand, and head into the elevator to Lena's private car parking lot.
About 30 minutes after Kara and Lena leave Lena's penthouse the couple make their way to a secluded spot at the top of one of the mountains just outside of National city, Lena having driven them up there. Lena pulls over the car at a spot that overlooks the entirety of National City.
"What are we doing up here Lee?" Kara questions.
"I talked to Alura. She told me that you love looking up at the stars, so I thought that we could look at the stars cuddled up under a blanket together." Lena suggests with a smile.
"That sounds amazing. But I don't want you to get cold if we are getting out the car, and if we don't, we can't exactly cuddle up." Kara replies, gesturing to the area that separates the two front seats in the car.
Lena chuckles.
"Don't worry darling. I already have that sorted." Lena grins and presses a button next to her steering wheel.
As Lena presses the button the whole roof of Lena's car goes from being black to opaque, giving the two of them a great view of the stars above.
"Wow.... No wonder you wanted to take this car." Kara says as she looks up at the stars in awe.
Lena chuckles once more.
"Yeah. I thought we could both slip into the back seat and then cuddle up under a blanket I have in the trunk." Lena suggests.
Kara nods.
"I would love that." Kara replies.
"Good." Lena smiles.
About 10 minutes later Lena and Kara are both happily snuggled up together in the back seat of Lena's car, both with a large blanket wrapped around them. Lena is resting her head on Kara's shoulder, and Kara is resting her head gently on top of Lena's. The two women just look up at the nights sky in amazement.
"You see right there?" Kara says as she points.
Lena nods.
"That is Rao. The red sun that Krypton orbited around." Kara explains.
"It's beautiful." Lena says, touched Kara is sharing such intimate knowledge about the place where she was born.
"Yeah... You should have seen the red rays of Rao. It was one of the most beautiful sights in the universe. Watching the red sun slowly seep over the mountains of Krypton as the day would come to a close was one of the most beautiful sights I will ever witness. I really wish you could have seen it." Kara says, remembering Krypton.
"I can see it, through you." Lena says.
Kara turns away from the stars and looks at Lena, giving her a warm smile.
"But do you know what the most beautiful thing I've ever seen is?" Kara asks.
"No." Lena replies.
"It's you. When I first laid my eyes on you, although I didn't know how I felt, I knew that you were the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. You are far more beautiful than any sunset, even the sunsets made by Rao over the mountains on Krypton." Kara says, lovingly.
Lena leans in and takes Kara in for a kiss.
"That's cheesy, but I like your cheesy." Lena smiles.
Kara smiles back at Lena.
"It's not cheesy when it's true." Kara says, and then is the one to initiate the kiss this time.
"Hmm." Lena hums, overwhelmed by Kara's words.
"You're the most stunning thing I've ever seen too. I'm just sorry I can't describe it in such eloquent terms like you did." Lena says.
Kara smiles widely.
"That's okay. I don't need vast descriptions, just the way you are looking at me is enough." Kara smiles.
"And how am I looking at you?" Lena asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Like you could eat me whole." Kara replies.
"Well, good thing to know I look exactly like how I'm thinking." Lena grins.
Kara's eyes go wide.
"Do you want to go back to mine now?" Lena suggests.
"Uhh.. I... uh... yeah." Kara nods, fumbling with her words.
Lena giggles and gives Kara another peck on the lips.
As soon as Kara and Lena make it through Lena's penthouse door the two have taken one another into a passionate kiss. Kara is holding up one of Lena's legs that she has raised and wrapped around Kara's side. The two continue to kiss as they move further into the penthouse, slowly removing each other's jackets, dropping them on the floor, not caring about hanging them up.
"Bedroom." Lena hums between kisses.
Kara nods and to Lena's surprise completely picks her up, causing Lena to wrap both her legs around Kara's side. Kara then begins to walk the two of them towards the stairs which lead up to the hallway with Lena's bedroom. This however doesn't stop Kara from continuing to kiss Lena, so Lena just continues to enjoy Kara's kisses, completely trusting Kara to carry her safely.
The two soon make it into Lena's bedroom and Kara gently places Lena down on her bed. Kara then takes a moment to look down at Lena, taking in the moment. Kara notices how Lena's eyes are completely blown, full of lust. Kara is soon pulled out of this moment by Lena tugging at her cardigan, and pulling Kara down onto the bed with her.
Once Kara falls down onto the bed the two women continue to kiss, laying next to each other, side by side. Soon after this both of their hands begin to roam each other's bodies. Lena begins to take off Kara's cardigan, all the while they kiss. Suddenly Kara's eyes go wide and she flinches away from Lena. Lena just looks at Kara surprised and worried.
"Kara? What's wrong?" Lena asks, very concerned.
Kara doesn't say anything for a moment, standing up and looking away from Lena. This of course just makes Lena worry all the more. Lena thinks that she must have done something wrong that has upset Kara.
"Kara, we don't.... have to do anything.... If you don't want to..." Lena says, timidly.
Kara immediately turns around to face Lena.
"I do. I really do. I just..... I don't want to hurt you Lena. I like you so much..... it'll be hard for me to control myself when we are..... intimate..... I don't want to get so lost in you that I can't control my powers and then I hurt you. If that happens.... I will hate myself... and I will ruin everything." Kara says, clearly upset.
Lena stands from the bed and approaches Kara, deciding to place both her hands on Kara's hips.
"Darling, I trust you. I know you won't ever hurt me." Lena begins.
"But I could Lena... it's not about trust." Kara interrupts.
Lena raises her finger to Kara's lips to get her to stop talking.
"You didn't let me finish." Lena says.
Kara just nods and then Lena takes her finger away from Kara's lips.
"What I was going to say, is I trust that you won't hurt me. But, if you are worried about it, I have a solution." Lena smirks.
"Really? What is it?" Kara asks, confused.
Lena smiles at Kara.
"Red lights on." Lena says.
Suddenly Lena's lights in her room turn a shade of red, not entirely stripping Kara of her powers, but lessening them. Kara just looks around at the red room in amazement.
"I hope you don't mind. I know it may have been a bit presumptuous on my part. But after you told me at the cabin that you didn't want to hurt me, I worked on this." Lena explains.
Kara doesn't respond with words, instead she just takes Lena in for a passionate kiss, causing Lena to yelp in surprise before she melts into it.
"I take that as you liking this." Lena smirks as the two part.
"Yeah... this is amazing Lee." Kara says, in complete awe of her incredible girlfriend.
"I'm glad. We can adjust the red lights accordingly. Or alternatively I have come up with a design for a red sun light bracelet which you could wear." Lena explains.
Kara gets a shocked look on her face.
"What?" Lena asks, confused.
"Sorry.... It's just... uhmm... bracelets, they have a different meaning on Krypton. On Krypton.... bracelets.... they were used instead of engagement rings." Kara explains.
Lena is now the one to get a shocked look on her face.
"Oh my. I'm glad I didn't decide for us to use a bracelet then. I'm even more glad that I decided to put your Supergirl suit in a pair of glasses, instead of a bracelet. That would have been very awkward." Lena says with a grin.
Kara just smiles at Lena and takes her in for another loving kiss.
"We can play with the settings of the lights if you like. On my phone I can change their strength, to whatever you are comfortable with. Then I have also added a mode so that the room is still backed in red sun light, but a filter just makes it look like normal yellow light." Lena explains.
"I want that one... I want to see your gorgeous body as I kiss you. I don't want it to be in a shade of red." Kara says, lust completely blowing out her own pupils.
Lena gulps and nods and then grabs her phone to adjust the lights so they look just like normal lights.
"That okay?" Lena asks.
Lena doesn't get a response in words, instead Kara crashes her lips into Lena's and then pushes her down onto the bed. Kara then begins to unbutton Lena's shirt very quickly between kisses. Lena responds by helping Kara remove her cardigan. Kara eventually gets stuck on a button.
"Just rip it off me Kara." Lena orders.
Lena doesn't have to tell Kara twice as Kara quickly rips the shirt off Lena and throws it to the side, still having enough strength to do that. Lena then helps Kara take off her own t-shirt before both of the women stand up and remove their jeans, tossing them to the side.
After that the two are now stood completely in their underwear. Both women are scanning their eyes up and down each other's bodies in complete awe and lust. Kara's eyes land on Lena's breasts, which are still covered by a bra. Meanwhile Lena's eyes land on Kara abs. Lena can't help but imagine herself running her tongue up and down each of Kara's muscles there.
"You're a goddess." Kara says to Lena.
"I guess you would be one to know." Lena smiles, referring to Kara's goddess like features.
Kara and Lena crash their lips into each other once more, both of them falling back down onto the bed. Soon after this the women remove the last remnants of their clothing, allowing themselves to be completely naked with one another.
Kara and Lena continue to kiss and they soon make love to each other for well over an hour. Both women kiss up and down each other's bodies, making each other moan in various ways. They are both finding pleasure points, places where the other likes to be touched. Kara for herself doesn't even have to be guided by Lena, like she originally thought she might be. Kara just allows her lust to completely take over and just worships Lena's body with her lips, her tongue and her fingers.
After a good hour both women are thoroughly spent, having both reached their climaxes multiple times. Both of them were unselfish lovers, which lead to a good time for them both. It meant that they both wanted each other to climax just as many times as they did. This being something that ended up exhausting the both of them.
Kara and Lena have just finished having sex. The two are laying down next to one another, under the covers, both trying to catch their breaths.
"Wow... that was just..... wow...." Kara says.
Lena doesn't reply which causes Kara to look over at her lover, this is when Kara notices that Lena is crying.
"Oh Rao, Lena, did I hurt you?" Kara says, very worried, hesitantly moving closer to Lena.
Lena just nods her head no.
"No. These are... happy tears.... I never..... I never thought I could feel anything like this.... I feel.... I feel so happy.... I feel.... at home with you.... I've never experience anything..... anywhere near as good as this..... with anyone else." Lena says as she wipes away her tears.
Kara smiles at Lena and moves closer to her to take her in for a kiss.
"Me too. No one else even comes close. This was incredible. You were incredible. You are incredible." Kara smiles, her eyes completely full of adoration and affection for Lena.
Kara then moves to hold Lena tight in her arms. The two remain like that for a while, with Kara placing gentle kisses on Lena's shoulder. Eventually the two women are interrupted by the growl of Kara's stomach.
Lena giggles.
"Sorry." Kara blushes.
"It's okay darling. How about we get dressed and order some food." Lena suggests.
"I.... okay..." Kara says, sounding a bit disappointed, even though she really does want food, she's hungry. Kara just doesn't want to get out of bed with Lena.
"Don't worry darling. We can eat some food, and maybe watch a movie to relax and regain some energy. Then we can go for round two." Lena smiles as she places a kiss on Kara's lips.
Kara's eyes go wide and she then nods her head, eagerly. Lena smiles at Kara in response.
"Let's get some food then." Lena smiles.
Just as Lena's said, the two women order some food and spend a couple of hours eating their food and snuggling on Lena's couch as they watch a movie. But unfortunately, by the time the movie is over Kara and Lena are both beginning to fall asleep, completely exhausted from their earlier escapade, despite eating a bunch of food.
"Come on darling. Let's go to sleep." Lena says, tiredly, as she stands up and turns off the tv.
Kara moans.
"No... I'm... awake..." Kara says with a yawn, really not sounding very convincing.
Lena chuckles and cups Kara's cheek.
"It's okay darling. We have all the time in the world to have round two. Round two, three, four, five, six, and beyond. Let's just go to sleep now." Lena says.
Kara hesitates for a moment before she nods her head and stands up. Lena then holds Kara's hand and leads the both of them upstairs to her bedroom. Once the two are inside they both go to the toilet and brush their teeth while the other puts a pair of pyjamas on. Once they are both finished with this they get back under the covers and then snuggle in each other's arms, both women truly exhausted.
"Good night darling." Lena says as she places a kiss on Kara's arm.
"Goodnight Lee." Kara replies with a yawn as she kisses Lena's hand which is wrapped around her front.
The two women then both drift off to sleep, completely exhausted and content. They have completed their first date, and they are both hopeful for what tomorrow can bring, and all the tomorrows after that.
