Earth-38
Year: 2020 (two weeks after you arrived at National City)
You never saw Lena again after she walked out of the glass room inside the DEO Headquarters. Since then, you've managed to meet Alex and Kara's other friends, Brainy and Nia.
Kara managed to help you get some documents for your stay at National City, finally allowing you to put all your money in the bank, and was also able to purchase your own apartment.
You were sitting at your brand new couch, watching a show on Netflix, when you heard your doorbell ring.
You checked your time, seeing as it was already ten in the evening. You doubt that it would be Kara behind the door because, at this time of night, she's usually on her nightly patrol in the city as Supergirl. On the other hand, Alex has a date with her girlfriend, Kelly, whom you've also met just recently.
After pausing the show that you are watching, you went up walking towards the door.
Opening it, you were surprised to see the raven-haired woman standing at your doorstep.
"Lena, what a nice surprise!"
You told her, stepping aside, allowing her to enter your apartment.
"I got your address from Kara. I hope you don't mind."
Lena sheepishly said.
You smiled at the sound of her voice, thinking that it was nice to be hearing it again.
"Of course, I don't mind, Lena."
You replied, feeling happy that she asked for your address even though you were practically a stranger to her.
"So, what brings you into my humble abode?"
You asked as you led her to your couch.
"I just wanted to apologize for suddenly leaving back at the DEO. After you told us your story, I felt terrible. I couldn't handle my emotions any longer."
Lena explained.
You frowned upon hearing her apology.
"Lena, you don't need to say sorry. I know my story isn't for the faint of heart. I told you guys about my powers because sooner or later, I would be forced to use them if an accident happened or if someone needed help. I never really liked hiding my identity from the people I would potentially see every day."
You told her.
"Y/n, I'm thrilled that you trust us enough to tell us how you suffered in the past. You are fearless, and I admire that about you."
Lena said, making you smile at her kind words.
"Y/n, I like you and want to be your friend, but before I can do that, I have to tell you something."
She paused, asking you if she could continue.
Already intrigued by what she has to say, you urged her to continue.
"After hearing about your past, I think you deserve to know why I truly acted that way."
She paused once again.
"As you know, aliens live on this earth as refugees after their home planets were destroyed. There was a project going on around called Campus, and their role was to conduct experiments on extraterrestrial beings, ultimately harming them. There's a large population against the alien race seeking shelter on our planet, my mother is included in that population who hates aliens, and she was the one who created the project, Cadmus. I was terrified after learning about my mother's evil deed. With the help of Kara and the DEO, they managed to apprehend my mother, finally shutting down project Cadmus. But I couldn't help but feel guilty after hearing about your story because my mother is practically the same as those men who would torture you back then."
You couldn't believe it. Lena was feeling guilty about something that she wasn't even a part of.
"Lena, you do not need to feel guilty, do you hear me? You are not your mother. You do not hate aliens. Heck, your best friend is an alien, and you built a freaking anti-kryptonite suit to protect her. You are an amazing person Lena, do not let your mother's evil deeds define you. You are so much better than that."
You told the raven-haired girl, placing your hands on both sides of her shoulders.
You let out a small smile after seeing Lena agreeing with your words.
"Thank you for trusting me enough to tell me about your past, Lena. I am very much honored to be your friend."
You added, earning a bright smile from her.
Both of you let out a small laugh. Lena couldn't believe how easy it was to open up to you. Your comforting aura continues to lure her into your life.
"Can I hug you?"
The raven-haired girl asked.
Without uttering another word, you gently pulled her into a comforting embrace. You smile, slowly taking in her sweet scent.
"I could get used to this."
You told her as you sighed comfortably, earning a small chuckle from the taller girl.
"Me too."
----------
The next day, you went out of your apartment to meet Lena for brunch. With a baby on your tummy, she's decided to introduce you to her favorite diner famous for its humble yet delicious food.
Entering the diner, you were able to spot Lena immediately.
"Hi there, Lee."
You said, hugging the green-eyed girl.
"Hello, darling. I see you've already tried out your new car."
She said with a teasing tone. You blushed at the endearment that they used to call you. You were used to people calling you with sweet names, but with Lena, it felt different... good different.
"I did. I'm already in love with it."
You say, earning a light laugh from the older girl.
After your heartfelt conversation with Lena last night, you couldn't stop talking to each other about, well... everything and nothing. It was sad that the conversation had to end, but you've just learned that besides being a scientist, she also owns a multi-billion company called L-corp. She has to leave for work early in the morning, so as a consolation for leaving, she invited you out for brunch.
"I already ordered for the both of us. I hope you don't mind."
She told you, giving you an apologetic look.
"It's fine, Lee. I bet it would taste amazing."
You told her. With the various smells coming out from the kitchen, you do not doubt that the food would be delicious.
"So, I heard from Kara that you are looking for a job?"
She asked, starting a conversation with you while both of you wait for the food.
"Yeah, I am. If you can recall, I have a particular skill set and seeing that I am pregnant, I can't apply to be a DEO agent."
Lena nodded, understanding your sentiment. Before she could talk, the waiter excused himself as he started placing the food on your table.
Your mouth instantly started to water at the sight of the food. Both of you thanked the waiter before digging into your respective foods.
You moaned at the taste, earning a satisfied smile from Lena.
"Told you, it's delicious, right?"
Lena asked, really proud that you love her choice of food.
"Yes, this is my favorite now, too."
You said before going for another bite.
"Back to the topic at hand."
Lena started.
"What if you start to work with me at my lab? Kara said you have a master's and Ph.D. in Biotechnology, Astrophysics, Bioengineering, Computer engineering, and Civil engineering."
Lena gushed.
"Really? Work for you?"
You asked, thinking that this opportunity might be too good to be true.
"With me, and I don't see why not, y/n/n. You're a real genius, and your fields of study are pretty hard to achieve at such a young age. I am beyond impressed. Besides, I would love to be able to work with you considering that we excel in the same field... so what do you say?"
Lena asked, hoping that you would take her offer.
"Oh my god, yes! Of course, yes, I would love to work for you."
Lena smiled brightly at your excitement.
"With me, y/n/n, not for me. Do you mind if I give you a tour of the company today? After that, I'll have you sign your official contracts then you can officially start on Monday. I'll reserve the whole lab all to ourselves for the whole day."
With all the happiness and excitement running through your veins, you stood up to sit beside Lena, giving her a tight hug expressing your gratitude for the once in a lifetime chance she has given you.
"Thank you so much, Lee. You don't know how much this made me happy."
Lena's heart swelled with pride by your words. The feeling of your body hugging her so close gave her the feeling of butterflies erupting inside her stomach. All she could think about after your first encounter with her was you.
She wanted to be as close to you as possible your gravity is pulling her, and it's pulling her hard.
"Anything to keep you happy, y/n/n"
