Lost In The World But Found By You

Lena meets Kara as a lost, distressed child when she is at a park near L-Corp while sitting on a bench and goes to comfort her and spends most of her day with her until she is found by the DEO and taken in by Alex.  She then meets Kara properly again a few weeks later in her adult form and can’t help but wonder why it is that she seems so familiar when she is being interviewed by the reporter about her newest invention.  And then Lena realizes where she’s seen those golden curls before.

Chapter 1

One moment Kara had been flying at the criminals using alien weapons they clearly didn’t know how to use and she had managed to round up four of them already, knocking their weapons away, when one she hadn’t seen shot her while she was flying back from dropping the other men off at the nearest police station and, thankfully her clothes shrank with her, as she fell from the sky and right in the middle of a park area and found herself lost in the body of a four year old toddler with no concept of English anymore. Kara was looking around, toddling slightly and confused about what had happened to her.  Her thumb was in her mouth as she looked around and became overwhelmed with city noise and how vibrant all of the colors seemed all of a sudden.  Everything was so much bigger than she remembered and then it seemed like she couldn’t understand anything anyone was saying.  She was lost and all alone.  Kara turned this way and that and started walking around to find something that looked familiar to her but nothing looked familiar at all.  And she felt so small and overwhelmed that she started crying and toddling until she ran into someone and fell down, still crying and confused about where she was now.

Before she knew what was going on a gentle, soothing voice, and a tentative touch on her arm made Kara calm down her crying to soft whimpers as she looked up and saw the prettiest woman she had ever seen with piercing green eyes, pale skin, dark hair, and a worried furrow to her elegant eyebrows.  She immediately reached for her and wrapped her arms around the woman’s neck as she spoke to her in a language she couldn’t understand.  Kara buried her face into the woman’s neck, snuggled into her warmth, and felt soothed by her kindness and gentle murmuring in her hair as she said something that sounded reassuring and made Kara feel safe.

Somehow, Kara knew she needed to find Alex.  Her sister.  “Ie!  I want my ie!  Alex!” The woman said something again, in a soothing, calm tone, and Kara felt placated that she was understood even though she didn’t know what the woman was saying to her.  Kara had a sense that she was going to help her find her sister. And she smelled nice and felt warmth from the comforting, soothing patterns she rubbed up and down on her back as she held her in her slender arms.  Lena was just glad she was wearing a suit today rather than one of her blouse and skirt combos for once, having worn the suit to intimidate the men on her board committee and show them that she would always be the one with power and the final say even if they didn’t care for a woman being in charge of them. Despite all of her scheduled meetings, Lena was going to take some time to help situate this child.  In fact, Lena might take her along to every meeting if necessary because Lena was not going to just leave her to other strangers she might not be comfortable with.  No, Lena was going to have Jess buy necessary items to fed and entertain this lost little angel.  Yes, Lena was already feeling a little attached despite having only met this distressed child only a few minutes ago, but she was going to do her best for her. She was going to give her what she didn’t have at her age when the Luthor family first adopted her.

Lena was going to do everything in her power to help this child find her family.  As soon as she had calmed down enough, Lena was gesturing at herself and telling her that her name was Lena and the child repeated after her, “your name is ‘Ena?  ‘Ena!” she smiled at Lena with endearingly puffy cheeks, chubby with youth and baby fat clinging to her adorably.  Lena was enchanted with her as she smiled and called out her name when she seemed to ask if that was her name and upon receiving confirmation proceeded to repeatedly call Lena by name with a giddy smile.

“Yes, little one, and what is your name?” Lena asked, gently poking at her cute, button nose, entirely smitten with the young toddler, smiling toothily at her and cocking her head to the side in confusion. When Lena pointed at herself and said her name and then pointed at the little girl, and made some kind of motion, she seemed to get the point.

“I’m Kara!” she said exuberantly, pointing at herself to reiterate her point.

“Kara?” Lena repeated with a smile tugging at her lips at the entirely loveable toddler in her arms.

She nodded enthusiastically, “my name is Kara!  You’re ‘Ena and I’m Kara!”  Kara tapped a tiny hand on Lena’s shoulder as she repeated what she’d just learned and Lena found herself so charmed by this tiny human and felt herself falling in love with this adorable, intelligent toddler.

“Yes, yes you are, Kara, and I am Lena little one,” Lena said softly, tenderly addressing the bundle of joy in her arms before finally giving Jess a call while she juggled to continue holding Kara while she was calling.  After a few rings she was able to have Jess get things all ready for her while she walked with the toddler toddling along on short legs over to the L-Corp building. Lena noticed that she was remarkably fast for her age and, in spite of her little legs, Lena felt as if she was having trouble keeping up with a child less than half her height somehow.  Some children were fast, indeed, but usually toddlers were still toddling around awkwardly, barely able to walk as it were, but Lena could hardly keep up with little Kara’s speed.  Curious, curious indeed and she was in for even more of a shock when Kara seemed to declare her hunger once they’d gotten back to Lena’s office and Jess had managed to buy toys and other things to entertain the toddler as well as some books for the little girl.

“I’m hungry ‘Ena!  Hungry!” Kara said, patting her little belly and making the cutest face and pouting her lips up at Lena.  It was honestly the most adorable thing Lena had ever seen and she found herself a victim because she was far too endearing and Lena was absolutely smitten.  How could she say no to this little angel simply asking to be fed?

Tapping on her intercom, Lena heard Jess respond almost immediately, “yes, Miss Luthor?  What can I do for you?” she asked.

“Would you be able to get something for little Kara to eat please?  The little darling is quite hungry.  Let me ask her what she would like to eat.”  And Lena, seeing as there was an obvious language barrier, decided that using pictures would be the fastest way to figure out what Kara would like.

Despite being so little, she was quite smart. Kara would shake her head while telling Lena no in her language and Lena caught on to what no and yes were simply from that alone.  It seemed little Kara was quite hungry indeed, having said yes to quite a few options Lena had shown her from Big Belly Burger.  Kara had pointed at a few kid sized meals and seemed excited over some burgers, smiling and babbling in her language as she seemed to emphasize that she was quite hungry and wanted all of the food and had picked out a monstrosity for a drink, some kind of milkshake that looked like it might either cause diabetes or instant cavities even.  Triple Fudge Truffle with Caramel and real chunks of Reese’s cups mixed in as well as whipped cream on top and a cherry to induce artery clogging for those faint of heart.  Lena almost told her no but she was a child and this might have been the only time she’d get such an overly sweet drink this week and Lena couldn’t even finish telling her no when she looked up at her with bright eyes, looking at her with such adoration and happiness.

And, so, Jess ordered the three kid’s meals as well as a greasy burger for Lena and French Fries enough for just about two larges with how much Kara had asked for.  Lena watched in awe as little hands managed to squish the mini burger into a tiny mouth in one big bite and somehow it was the cutest thing that those little cheeks were stuffed like a chipmunk as she chewed before swallowing, letting out a satisfied hum that made Lena’s heart clench at the most adorable thing Lena had ever laid eyes upon and she almost didn’t want Jess to contact anyone. As if she wasn’t being the most endearing thing possible already, Kara patted her little belly and seemingly thanked her in her language with a big, toothy smile before stuffing her mouth full of as many French Fries as her little mouth could possibly fit and Lena’s heart felt so warm and full from the feeling, from seeing this enchanting child doing something as mundane as eating food.  She ate like she’d never eaten before in her life.

Lena might have been a little in love with Kara and ready to adopt her if the police weren’t able to find out where Kara belonged.

After Kara finished all of her burgers, fries, and milkshake, despite how absolutely tiny she was, she patted her belly once more, having cleaned up all of her mess, copying Lena as she’d cleaned up her wrapper and put them into the bag that had carried her food, she cleaned up her hands as instructed by Lena and crawled onto Lena’s lap on the couch for a nap. She laid her little head against Lena’s chest her tiny, little hands fisted on Lena’s suit jacket as she held onto her and fell asleep within moments and Lena wanted to keep her forever. Lena had never seen herself having kids of her own.  Maybe in the distant future she might possibly … but spending just a few hours with this little sweet angel made Lena feel … almost motherly.

Lena had Jess reschedule all of her immediate meetings until Kara woke up from her nap, not having the heart to leave the little girl alone on the couch just for something as insignificant as a meeting with potential investors.  Kara was more important.  Much, much more important.  Lena felt herself drifting off as well, the warmth of little Kara’s body, the way she snuggled deeper into Lena’s embrace after she wrapped her arms around her made Lena feel safe and warm.  And waking up to the bluest eyes looking up at her in awe made Lena’s heart swell and she smiled before pressing her forehead against little Kara’s forehead, not wanting to get her red lipstick on her plump, soft cheeks.

“You’re pretty.  The prettiest person ‘Ena!”  Despite all of the toys Lena had gotten for her, Kara didn’t seem much interested in them at the moment.  She seemed content to play with Lena’s hair and pat her cheeks gently with her tiny, tiny hands.

Lena had a meeting in half an hour and she tried to get Kara interested in the toys and had Sam play come in to watch Kara for a bit while she got ready for her meeting by going over some notes in an email for it and hugged the little girl before leaving her office.  To her surprise, before she could quite manage to get the door completely open, little Kara was wrapped around her legs, seeming to realize Lena’s intentions to leave.  “I need to go to a meeting, sweetie.  Just for a little while okay?”

Kara shook her head, “no go, no go!  I want you to stay with me, please?  Stay with Kara please!”  Little Kara had tears in her blue eyes.  She had a firm grip on Lena’s pants but let go when Lena bent down to address her carefully, gently.

“How about I take you with me, Kara?  Would that make you feel better?”  Kara didn’t seem to understand so Lena just took that as a yes and looked over to Sam, “it seems she wants to stay with me during my meeting, Sam.  Can you check in to see if anyone has come from the police station yet with any information on a missing child?  Jess should have contacted them a while ago.”

Sam smiled at her gently, “of course, Lena.” Looking at Kara, Sam nodded in her direction, “someone seems to be quite attached to you.  Honestly, being that she was lost, her feeling attached to you seeing as you found her and helped her right away doesn’t surprise me.  I have to say, her little Supergirl costume is adorable and incredibly well made Lena, but wouldn’t she be more comfortable in other clothing?”

Lena gave her a wry smile.  “I did have Jess buy her other clothes but she looked at them with distaste, like, she didn’t like how it felt.  Honestly, she seemed uncomfortable with the material so I just let her keep her costume on.  You’ll have to tell me what Ruby is going to be dressed as for Halloween since it is just a few weeks away now.”

Sam laughed at that.  “You’ll never guess who she is going to be dressed as,” Sam said with a wink.  Lena rolled her eyes at her.

“Hm, Supergirl?” Lena asked, already knowing the answer as she picked little Kara up, who immediately wrapped her little arms around Lena’s neck and snuggled into her, letting out a happy sigh upon realizing that she would get to stay with Lena.

“Do you even have to ask?”  Sam gave Kara a sympathetic look.  “I’ll go check in with Jess.  Go to your meeting.”  Then a wicked smirk appeared on Sam’s lips, “let’s see them try to say something belittling or nasty to you with a toddler attached to your hip in this meeting.  Some of your potential investors are sexist pricks.”  Lena glared at her.  “What?  I said pricks and not the other word, not that she can understand English anyways.”

Lena didn’t even dignify Sam with a response before leaving.

It was funny really, how intimidated the men were by the presence of a tiny toddler sitting comfortable on Lena’s lap as they talked business with her, arguing about investing.  Kara was more than content to simply sit on Lena’s lap and play with her fingers or suit jacket, endlessly fascinated by the feeling of Lena’s skin or the fabric of the suit jacket.  And if she wasn’t doing that, she was busy playing with Lena’s face, babbling in her language but Lena had the sense that she was saying flattering things with the smile she directed Lena’s way as she played with her face in childish wonder.

The men she was talking to didn’t seem to know how to react to Kara’s presence.  One man seemed to be particularly charmed and had tried to subtly ask why she was there during the meeting.

“I found her lost in the park and I am waiting for the police to get back to me with more information about what to do to help her find her parents or guardians.  Until then, she seems rather attached to me and she is a sweet little angel so I won’t have her being uncomfortable around people she isn’t comfortable with.”

The man nodded humbly.  “She is quite endearing.”  He cleared his throat, “do you mind if I …?”

Lena stood up with Kara in her arms and Kara, seeming to think they were finally leaving this boring activity, wrapped her arms around Lena happily, babbling about how she was excited to go somewhere much more entertaining.  “Darling, he’s going to hold you for a moment if you’re okay with it.”  Even though there was a language barrier, Lena was going to try to inform Kara about what was happening because that was only fair.

He took Kara from Lena and she started to fuss, thinking he was going to take her away from Lena.  “No, ‘Ena!  Don’t let him take me from you please!  I want ‘Ena, not him, please!”  Lena was starting to wonder if she knew what the word please was because Kara seemed to say it at the end of her requests when distressed and Lena took a hold of Kara’s hand, reaching out for her, and rubbed her back with the other to soothe her from her distress.

“I’m sorry, she just … she looks so much like my daughter before we … lost her last year and I … I shouldn’t have asked.”  He gently passed Kara back to Lena and Lena felt sympathy for the man obviously still grieving over such a horrific loss.

“Don’t worry about it.  Kara just likes me because I found her and took her in several hours ago and I don’t know how long she will be under my care, but I will make sure she is well taken care of until we find her family or someone who can take care of her properly.”

He smiled.  “You seem to be doing a great job with her.”  Lena gave him a small, genuine smile as thanks before they moved along in the meeting, Kara being a perfect little angel the entire time as she snuggled into Lena’s warmth and fell asleep half an hour into the long meeting. Little hands grasping onto her suit jacket before they slipped away as Lena picked her up and rested her little head against her shoulder instead as the meeting carried on in hushed voices, the men respecting that she was a sleeping child and softening their voices. Within another hour their negotiations were finished and it was better than Lena had even anticipated and she pressed a barely there kiss to little Kara’s cheek as she walked back to her office after the meeting.

Lena didn’t want to part from little Kara. This sweet angel could stay with her forever.

As the day wore on, the police finally brought in some detectives, a Maggie Sawyer and her partner, Lexa Woods.  They asked how this all happened and little Kara was still asleep so they couldn’t ask her anything directly as she was snuggled deeply into Lena’s arms letting out adorable little breaths that just made Lena smile involuntarily.

Her little face scrunched up when someone spoke a little too loudly, a little crinkle appearing in between her brows. If Lena wasn’t already in love, she would have fallen in love with that face as Lena sat with Kara on her lap instead because her arms had gotten tired.

“You seem to be quite attached to her,” Detective Woods stated calmly.

Lena looked up from the adorable child who had stolen her heart.  “Yes, unfortunately I am quite attached.  She is just so sweet and it hurts my heart to know that she isn’t mine to keep.  Kara has a family somewhere probably worried sick and missing her and I would never take that away from her, but I just wish that I might be able to visit her after this if possible.  Someone out there must be searching for her now, but I just fell in love with this darling little angel.”

Not long after they finished questioning her, Kara woke up a little grumpy because she needed to use the bathroom but didn’t know how to say it until she did the potty dance, Lena hadn’t understood. Kara did not like using the bathroom here at all.  It was so different from the one she grew up using and the paper she had to use to wipe her butt just didn’t make any sense to her because she was used to other means. But since Lena had done everything to help her, she didn’t really care much.  It was just weird.

Lena had things ordered by Jess for her apartment’s guest room to be set up for little Kara and Kara refused to sleep in her own room and toddled around after Lena had tucked her in and jumped up on Lena’s queen sized mattress somehow while Lena was changing into her sleek, silky pajamas.  Lena chuckled upon seeing the little girl sitting on her bed and patting the spot next to her while probably telling her to sleep next to her based on how she said her name.  “Here ‘Ena!  Sleep here next to Kara please!”  And just how could Lena say no to that enthusiastic expression of joy and cuteness incarnate?

Kara giggled with joy when Lena ran over and jumped onto the bed, landing next to her and jostling little Kara enough to have her bounce up slightly.  She crawled over Lena’s stomach and pressed her little face into Lena’s neck and held onto the collar area of Lena’s shirt.

“You are so precious.  I hope we have a few more days together at the very least just so I can savor these moments with you before they become a memory of our time together, Kara.”  Kara looked up at Lena, tilting her head to the side and smiling when Lena pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead, now that her lips were makeup free she was more willing to press kisses to Kara face and adorable cheeks.  And then Kara pressed a sloppy little kiss to Lena’s cheek too. Lena was so in love with this little girl she never wanted to let her go.  But she would have to when Kara’s family finally found her and Lena’s heart would break on that day because Kara was so special.

So, I have always loved Kid Kara fanfics and decided to write my own.  I want this to be fluffy, despite how much angst I normally write, because these last few episodes have been more than angsty enough for me to crave some fluff.
