Joining The Superfriends - 24

Read it on AO3 here!

The group stumble to their feet, the alarms kicking their asses into gear and raising their adrenaline levels, getting them ready for what might just be the fight of their lives.

“Alright, let’s pull up footage from all over the city, let’s see what we’re dealing with and everyone, look perky, we’ve got to be ready for anything so I don’t give a damn if you feel like your brain is going to slide out of your ears, that’s your fault for drinking so much last night.” Alex starts directing them, using her prior experience at the DEO to start controlling the situation.

Lena jumps into action, rushing to the computer to start pulling up footage from all around the city, just as Brainy and J’onn come rushing in. Brainy joins Lena and starts helping her out as much as he can, using scanners they have built into the tower to try and take a look at what’s going on.

The footage is pulled up quickly and transferred onto the bigger screen in the Tower and what they see takes their breaths away.

“Oh shit.” Alex gasps. “That’s not the kind of spider I was expecting.”

“Well, that’s a pretty loose interpretation of a spider.” Lena quips, staring at what appears to be some kind of giant ship with several long legs shooting down from it as it hovers over the city.

The ‘legs’ don’t reach the ground, the entire thing hovering. From the bottom of each long mechanical-looking tube that resembles a leg, hundreds of forms are exiting the ship, flying off and dispersing across the city.

They look like robot forms, the shape inherently human except for an extra set of arms on the sides of them.

“There are hundreds of them.” Lena gasps.

“I’d say thousands.” Kara chimes in. “I think you can forget whatever you had on your list that can kill spiders because that’s not your average house spider.”

“Gee, you think?” Alex says, sarcasm dripping from her voice. “Everyone, suit up, we need to get out there. Lena, what are they doing?”

Lena moves through all of the available footage, watching where the robots go and trying to figure out their intent. “It looks like, for now, they are just dispersing, they are spreading across the city and then just hovering around but for how long, I don’t know. I have a bad feeling about it all though.”

“Me too.” Alex activates her Hand of The Soldier gauntlet, her suit materializing in an instant. “I think this is going to be very, very bad. Let’s start evacuating people and sending them out of the city or at least get as many people as we can inside. Civilian lives are the priority here.”

“Agreed.” Kara’s suit activates, in turn, the nanobots spreading across her body and replacing her normal clothes with her Supergirl regalia. “I’ll take the west side by the waterfront and start guiding people to safety, Alex, why don’t you start here and work your way out? J’onn and Nia can start from the busier areas and work from there.”

“Sounds good,” Alex replies. “Give me a lift?”

Kara nods and then moves to press a kiss on Lena’s cheek. “Be safe.”

“You too.”

Kara smiles then uses her superspeed to grab Alex and dive off of the balcony, landing on the sidewalk across the road. “You be safe as well.”

“As safe as I can be,” Alex promises. “No being a hero.”

Kara doesn’t make any promises.

“Kara?” Alex calls after her as she jets off. She rolls her eyes in annoyance. Her sister is going to be the death of her. “Such a brat.”

Lena watches them from her spot in front of the computer and does the same when J’onn and Dreamer head out too. Kelly gets ready to leave too, running off to get changed and hopping back into the room a few minutes later, still trying to shove her feet into her boots. “It’s so unfair that they can get changed so fast.”

Lena snickers as Kelly runs into the elevator and repeatedly presses the button for the ground floor. Her attention quickly falls back to what she was doing, mostly just watching what the robots are doing.

They are still dispersing, more and more of them with every second that passes, and then just hovering over streets and buildings, flying around until they reach a spot they like and standing still. Lena has to give it to Lex, these robots are well programmed, they move efficiently and obviously have collision aversion software because they haven’t even come close to hitting anything.

She focuses her eyes on the screen that shows Kara out on the west side of the city. She can see her directing people inside and talking with families who then pack themselves up into their cars and start driving towards the city borders. She can see the highway leading out of the city filling up with more and more cars, traffic backing up and she doesn’t need audio to know that there are a lot of car horns blaring from that stretch of road.

Everyone works quickly and as efficiently as they can and Lena is astounded at the speed in which the team manages to control the crowds on the street, ushering everyone either inside or to leave the area. For the most part, people are getting in their cars and driving away, entire districts emptying in a matter of minutes, all the while being watched by the robots.

Lena has to say, she would expect something more sinister from Lex than waiting for people to leave. She would have thought that he would purposefully attack while everyone is still in the city so they would be too distracted trying to protect civilians to properly fight against his robots but then again, he’s always had a big ego so it wouldn’t shock her if he thought so much of himself that he doesn’t think they will win, even if they do have their heads in the game.

Then, there’s movement.

“Supergirl, I’ve got robots moving half a mile to your six.”

“Copy that.”

Lena tracks Kara’s journey down to the robots through the footage, using traffic cameras and CCTV to closely monitor everything she can.

Kara stops just short of where the robots are moving but they aren’t moving the way she expected them to be when Lena said they had broken out of their stationary state. They aren’t whizzing about or even floating around aimlessly, no, their arms are turning, the hands, which have fingers and all, are unlatching, slitting in the middle and the casing being pulled back into the wrists, revealing instead the barrel of some kind of weapon.

“Their hands have guns in them!” Kara calls through her comms to the others. “Everyone be careful.”

Kara hears a barrage of inventive swears in response.

“Supergirl, if you can bring me one, I might be able to use it to take down the weaponry of all of them, there’s a good chance they are hive mind similar to the bugs before.”

“You got it.” Kara flies closer to one of the robots from behind, the green casing of the robot getting clearer as she gets closer, the metal shiny and solid. Her hands pin its arms to its side, the top set of arms trapping the bottom set. She’s just about to take off towards Lena with it in her grasp when its head turns around, its body still facing the other way, until it’s eye to eye with her.

Its previously white-lit eyes change colour to a sickly yellow-green and then the body turns, shaking out of Kara’s grip with ease. The arms pull up and in a matter of milliseconds the four arms are pointed at her chest and a laser beam of pure kryptonite is shot into her chest.

It sends her careening back through the air, her chest exploding in pain and her veins filling up with the substance that hurts her the most. Her limbs paralyze with the pure, unadulterated agony of being hit with the kryptonite and thus, she starts to fall.

“Supergirl!” Kara hears Lena’s voice ring out through her earpiece as she begins to drop.

The further from the robot she gets, the more the pain lessens and as such, as she is nearing the ground in what would be a catastrophic crash, she manages to just about tuck her legs beneath her and thrust upwards, flying up just enough to stop her ending up becoming one with the concrete below. “I’m good.” She gasps. “They have kryptonite.”

“Supergirl, retreat back to the Tower!” Alex demands. “It’s not safe for you out here!”

“But—”

“That’s an order, Supergirl!” Alex gives her no chance to argue.

Kara sighs. She doesn’t want to leave the team out here to deal with the robots on their own but realistically, she knows she can’t stay out here. She’ll be no help to anyone if she’s just going to get shot out of the sky over and over again. “On my way back to you, Eagle One.”

“Copy that, Supergirl. Don’t dawdle.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

Kara looks up to see the robot that shot her has gone back to its original position, arms still armed but its eyes turned back to white. Odd. She takes off back to Lena. She might not be any help out here but she can see if Lena needs a hand with anything, maybe she can help her out with figuring out how to stop these metal assholes, she might not have a good handle on how human technology works at times but she knows about alien technology and that’s got to count for something.

Lena watches the little dot tracking Kara’s movements travel closer and closer to her with bated breath, worried that she’ll be shot at again before she manages to get there safely but soon enough, Kara flies in through the balcony and Lena can breathe again.

Kara joins her at her side. “What can I do to help from here.”

“Activate the Tower’s security system. If they have kryptonite, we can’t risk any of them getting inside.”

“What about the others?”

“They can still get in from the office downstairs with DNA scanners. Kara, this is for your safety.”

“I can’t just sit and hide, Lena. I have to be doing something.”

Lena walks over to a new panel she recently installed on the wall just beside all of the buttons that summon all of the other heroes on Earth and opens it up, activating the security system herself since Kara is very obviously not about to do it.

Kara follows her like a lost puppy. “Lena?”

“Kara, I need you to be patient. I’ve been working on something for you to protect you from kryptonite but I’ve only got the blueprints done, it would take hours to actually get it made. I can set J’onn’s Martian technology on it so it starts making it but it will take a few hours. Can you wait that long without complaining until my ears bleed?”

Kara’s face lights up. “You should have led with that. Let’s get it going.”

“Good. I can go and do that, watch over the monitors and the team, watch their backs and guide them when you need to.”

“You got it, boss.” Kara grins, practically skipping over to the computers.

“Oh and let the rest of the team know you’re back and the Tower has gone into lockdown.”

Kara does exactly as she’s told, using her superspeed to flick through all of the footage available to her to get eyes on the full team with pride sitting warmly in her heart at how well they are doing at evacuating everyone and getting those that refuse to leave to somewhere they can at least take cover. “I’m back at the Tower, guys, Lena has activated the security system so the only entrance is downstairs and you’ll have to use the DNA scanner to open the door.”

“Thank god.” Alex mumbles. “Stay safe, Kara.”

“I second that,” J’onn adds.

“Third.” Nia chimes in.

“Fourth.” There’s laughter in Kelly’s voice as she adds to the conversation.

“Fif—” Brainy tries to say.

“Shut up!” Kara snaps. “I don’t like you guys.”

“Love you too.” Alex chuckles.

Kara ignores them all after that, focusing instead on keeping track of the robots’ movements, flipping through each and every frame of footage they have and setting her sights on the ship using the pieced-together angles to try and figure out the schematics of the ship, mapping out any possible entrances or weak spots.

“Hey, J’onn?”

“I’m here.” J’onn responds.

“Can you get me sights on the top of the ship?”

J’onn finishes up the small group of people left on the block he’s working on evacuating and then flies up over the top of the ship, keeping a safe distance but also getting close enough he can get a good look. “I see it.”

“Can you get me pictures?”

A few moments later she’s receiving almost a dozen pictures of the top of the ship, all from different angles. “Thanks, J’onn. You’re free to get back to what you were doing before. Thanks for the assistance.”

“Anytime.”

From the photos she has and the CCTV footage, Kara uses her underused art skills and her superspeed to create an amazing art piece, one mapping out the ship and the parts of it she recognizes, marking out where the filtration system is, engines, front, back, hull, anything she can figure out.

Lena strolls in, her sneakers squeaking against the polished floor as she does because she’s speedwalking, all too aware of how much they have got to do and how little time they have because sooner or later, those robots are going to start destroying things because of course they will, they literally have guns built into their arms. “Ok, that’s going to take a while, it says it will be complete in a couple of hours.”

“Hours?” Kara looks up at her, eyes wide enough to display her icy blue eyes nicely.

“Yes, hours. I can’t control how long it takes and it’s a very detailed piece of equipment, as you can imagine it would be.” Lena pins her gaze onto Kara’s. “How are you doing with keeping track of everyone?”

“Good. I’ve made a diagram of the ship. I’m going to try and map out the robots too if I can from the footage.” Kara holds up her drawings.

Lena takes it from her. “Wow. This is actually really helpful. Yeah, do the robots next.”

She pulls out the large pinboard and whiteboard from where they are stored at the side of the room, attaching the pictures to the pinboard and marking out more parts of the ship that she recognises that Kara didn’t.

“I can see three weaker spots just from this picture but this ship is complicated. This part on the top you marked as filtration, that’s a dud. You can tell because there are these slots over on the side that is the real filtration system because they work better with the kind of engine on it, the top ones must be a trap of some kind or a dud to stop us trying to take it out. Lex has made this ship like this to make it harder for us to take him down.”

“Too bad he doesn’t give us enough credit for how utterly brilliant we are.”

Lena snorts. “Your ego never fails to amaze me.”

“I’d say confidence, not ego.”

“Whatever you say, Supergirl.”

Kara shakes her head. They are about to get into the biggest fight they have been forced into, and her team is picking on her. It’s probably nerves but it definitely feels like she’s gotten the short end of the stick.

She refocuses back on what she’s been told to do, making a diagram of the robots, adding in the details she noticed when she got up close and personal with the one that very kindly shot her with kryptonite. She’s naming that one Jerkface.

Lena occasionally nudges her aside, taking over the CCTV screens to look closer at certain situations or areas so she can give the team a nudge in the right direction. “It looks like traffic is moving well, it’s not the quickest but a lot of people have crossed the city lines now, it seems as though most people are heading for Central City.

“Good, how long do you think it will be before everyone willing to leave is out?”

“Not sure, soon though, probably within the hour. It helps that a lot of the alien population already left, that’s a lot less work for the team.”

“Good point, although, I didn’t take Lex to be someone that would let people get out of the city. I thought that he would want to cause as much damage as he possibly can with little regard for anyone else.”

Lena’s shoulders sag. “I know, I don’t know what he’s planning but chances are, it’s really bad if he’s letting people evacuate first. It might be a ploy to reduce the number of emergency services that will ultimately get sent this way. The fewer people here, the less backlash he’ll get.”

“Maybe,” Kara says, lost in thought as she takes a green pencil lying around, one that is from Esme’s pencil set but never got put away properly, and then she colours in the drawing of the robot. “I’m just about done with the front. I’ll start working on the back now.”

Lena takes the drawing and goes to hang it up and finds herself staring at it, her eyes more alight with recognition than they were when she first saw the robots, at first she just cared that they were there but now, seeing the details, she knows she’s seen them before.

“They’re Lexo-suits.”

“They’re what now?”

“Lexo-suits. It’s from a project Lex has been working on for years. They were originally designed to be sent out to warzones to help people, give them first aid and such. They were originally meant to help people, I even worked on some of the components before other projects came up through Luthor Corp and he took over the project completely. I couldn’t possibly tell you what kind of modifications he could have added given how long it’s been since I’ve worked on them.”

Kara closes her eyes, making a point to take several deep breaths. “So you’re telling me that these robots are actually something called Lexo-suits and they are extremely advanced and will be really hard to fight?”

Lena hesitates briefly. “Yeah…”

“Great. That’s just…great.”

Lena looks down, her fingers entwining with each other nervously. “I’m sorry.”

Kara steps towards her, a hand falling onto Lena’s and stopping their anxious wriggling. “Hey, don’t apologise, none of this is your fault and I will tell you that as many times as I have to in order to make you believe it.”

“Promise?”

“I promise.”

Lena clasps her hand onto Kara’s too, sharing the moment before snapping herself out of it and getting back to work. “Um, can you keep watch a minute? I’m going to write down what I remember of the old versions of the Lexo-suit just in case it helps.”

“You got it.” Kara sits down on the stool in front of the monitor and as she’s flipping through, she sees Brainy rounding a small group of aliens into a building. “Wait, when did Brainy head out? I thought he would stay in here and help you.”

“He’s going to come back when the city has been evacuated. He left not long after you. You’ve been in here for a while now, is this the first time you noticed?”

Kara shrugs, pulling a face only a guilty person could manage.

She’s vaguely aware of Lena just off to her side. She’s working on her lists dutifully, adding notes to the pictures Kara drew not long ago and it spurs Kara to quickly do the drawing of the back of the suit so Lena can have that too.

Lena gasps when she sees the back. “Yes! He hasn’t changed the thrust system. If I can come up with a countermeasure, I can ground the lot of them, that will at least make them easier to fight.”

Kara grins at the excitement in Lena’s voice, the pure joy of making a difference. “Good job, smarty-pants.”

A pencil hits her back but she pays it no mind, the smile dropping off her face. “Shit, they’re moving.”

Lena drops what she’s doing and races to her side to see what Kara means. Kara wordlessly points to one specific live feed. One that shows they are all converging in certain areas, moving in what looks to be a well-practised manoeuvre.

“Where are they going?” Lena mumbles, clicking in and out of different sets of camera footage.

Kara watches her and it clicks for her before it does for Lena, her hand gently moving Lena’s out of the way so she can confirm the theory she prays is wrong. “They’re going for the team.”

“Guys, the Lexo-suits are all heading your way so take cover, we don’t know what they are planning. If it gets too much, retreat back to the Tower, don’t be heroes, get back safely.”

“Copy.”

Kara and Lena can’t do anything but take their word for it and trust them to make the right choices, a task that Kara would usually find much easier knowing she’s out there fighting with them but is a thousand times harder when she’s just sitting on the sidelines.

“How much longer before I can go out there?” She questions when she sees Dreamer taking cover behind a truck, spying on the Lexo-suits as they fly by searching for her.

With a glance at her phone, Lena grimaces. “Another hour at least. Don’t do anything stupid, you’d just be someone they have to protect if you try.”

“I know,” Kara whispers. “I just wish there was something I could do to help them.”

Lena places a hand on her shoulder, a comforting weight to hopefully make her feel at least a little better when there’s nothing she can really say.

Both of their eyes shoot over to the monitors as they begin to shake and for a moment, they think something is wrong with them but when they realize it’s not just the monitors but everything, they panic.

The ground beneath their feet vibrates and things fly off surfaces, everything falling and making the room look as chaotic as they feel inside. “What the hell is going on?” Kara calls over the noise of lamps and things smashing onto the floor.

Lena claws her way up to look at the camera feed and finds that half of them are down, either destroyed completely, the feed gone, or the area around them so dust-filled that it’s impossible for them to see anything.

“Guys, come in! Give me a verbal signal you’re alright.” Kara calls through the comms, her throat suddenly feeling tight which makes her voice come out strained.

There’s no response from the other end, none of them answering her.

“Guys?”

“Can anyone hear me?” Lena tries when Kara gets no response from anyone.

Lena doesn’t get any response either so while Kara flicks through the few remaining cameras in search of their team, Lena gets out her laptop and starts trying to track them and looks up the comm status for each person.

“Their comms are still live but the connection has been disrupted by something. Trackers are moving, Kara, they’re moving, they’re alive, we just can’t speak to them anymore.”

“Where are they?”

Lena refocuses on the trackers. “J’onn is moving fast, he must be flying, I think he’s rounding up the team. Can you see anything on the cameras?”

Kara can’t see anything on the cameras they have except one thing. Destruction. Whole buildings are half demolished and cars sit as nothing but burnt crumpled wrecks, all within a short space of time. She can just about make out the shape of the countless Lexo-suits zooming their way through the air and using their arm blasters to hit anything they see, seemingly random.

It’s not random though, Kara notes, they’re hitting any building that is important to the city, she guesses to make the city unliveable, supermarkets, banks, schools even, everything is getting destroyed. Several office buildings are taken down and those that are too strong to fall, every window is shattered and in places, are beginning to burn from the blasts.

The civilians that decided not to evacuate appear to be switching their opinions now, running as fast as they can to escape the area, most not bothering with cars because there is rubble everywhere. The strange part is that they are completely left alone by the Lexo-suits, none of them even going close to the civilians, actually clearing paths for some in a few cases.

“They’re helping people.” Kara gasps.

“Who? The team? Why do you sound shocked about that?”

“No, not the team, the Lexo-suits. They’re helping people get out of the city. I don’t understand.” Kara can barely wrap her head around it all. “I don’t get it. They’re destroying buildings and putting people in danger that could be inside of them but then when they see people in the streets, they help them.”

Lena looks over her shoulder. “He’s playing some kind of game. I’m not sure what just yet but there’s ulterior motives to him helping people, we already know that from how he murdered all of those people with the fires.”

“Yeah. Hey, what exactly is it we’re waiting for so I can head out and join the others?”

“You’ll have to wait and see, now call Alex and see if you can get an update on the team.” Lena’s not giving a single thing away.

Kara frowns. “How am I meant to do that when the comms are down?”

“Kara, she still has a phone.”

“Oh, right.”

Lena wants to laugh at Kara’s panic-filled mind fog but doesn’t, the last thing Kara needs is to be dealing with insecurities on top of Lexo-suits and ships that look like spiders. She listens in as Kara calls Alex and feels every pacing step Kara takes as she waits for Alex to pick up the phone in each heavy pound of her heart.

Alex does pick up though, it takes her a while but she does and the relief in Kara’s voice is evident. “Alex! Thank Rao, I was so worried.”

Lena can only hear half of the conversation so she opts to just get back to work and wait for Kara to fill her in afterwards, something Kara is surprisingly quick at doing the second the call ends.

“She’s alright. The team is meeting up now, the Lexo-suits haven’t necessarily been attacking them as they have been purposely destroying things around them, maybe to scare them or trap them, they aren’t sure.”

“Alright, well, let’s hope it stays that way. Do the others have a plan in place yet?”

Kara shakes her head. “She didn’t mention that, just that they are trying to get to each other, J’onn is finding them individually and they are meeting up over by the docks to try and decide what to do.”

“Let’s just keep working, we won’t be any use to anyone just worrying about them, come on.” Lena grabs her arm and leads her from the opposite side of the room where she had paced to and leads her back to the stool beside the monitors. “Clean this up and track all the movements you can.”

“How much longer?” Kara asks desperately, her fingers running through her hair so roughly that Lena is worried that she’s going to actually rip half of it out of her scalp if she’s not careful.

Lena looks down at her phone. “Just a few more minutes. I know this is hard but I need you to be strong, the team needs you to be strong, Kara.”

“I can’t just stand here, Lena.” Kara replies, her voice cracking with emotion, “Alex is out there and the others too and it’s getting more and more dangerous by the second.”

Lena knows. She knows it’s getting dire out there the team being forced through the city by the chaos, little choice but to take cover where they can and avoid the blasts from the Lexo-suits that are near on indestructible. They have been watching the team whenever they come into view from their footage and can see that they have managed to take down a few of the suits but only as a team and there are far too many of them for them to be able to take them all down, they need help.

Lena pulls her into her side. “Stick with me, I’ve got you until it’s safe for you to go and help them. We’re making progress, darling.”

“I know we are, I just…I can’t wait. I know I can help but I feel so powerless.”

“The cores of the Lexo-suits are likely made of Kryptonite. If they have blasters of it, which we know they do, Lex probably decided to use it as a power source too because it’s so potent, it just makes sense. What we need is to be able to overload it. You fought against Metallo a couple of years back, right?”

Kara nods, not sure where this is going.”

“I saw on the news that the synthetic kryptonite used in his heart exploded. If we can recreate it and merge it with the kryptonite of the suits, we can make them all go boom.”

Kara pauses and for a moment, just a brief few seconds, and it’s enough to make Lena realize that she may have just crossed a line that should never be crossed but then Kara manages to get her brain going again. “We managed to salvage the blueprints to the synthetic kryptonite, I think they are in storage. I’ll go grab them and hopefully, whatever you have planned for me will be done by the time I get back so you can get started on it while I go and rescue our team. I think it’s best I bring them back here and then we can come up with a plan from there.”

Lena finds herself nodding at that. “Sounds good. I’ll go check on it but I think it’s just about done. Bringing the team back is probably the best choice, I don’t think they can avoid all of the destruction out there for much longer.”

Kara doesn’t wait any longer, she runs off, superspeed definitely in play, and heads to get the blueprints. In the meantime, Lena makes her way to her lab where she’s got Martian technology building something that will protect Kara.

It’s finished by the time she gets to her lab and she’s honestly kind of amazed at her own genius for coming up with something so astoundingly good.

She runs her fingers over the arm of it, smiling at the texture. It’s strong and protective, exactly what she needs it to be.

Lex better start running because now Supergirl has an anti-kryptonite suit, a Krypto-suit if you will. He’ll never see it coming.

Girl what is up this is awful Kara what are you doing! What the duck is this shit I am what. Thank you Nia and Brainy for showing how to communicate. This dress fits so oddly. I love the fact that Alex knew so quickly. I find it hard to believe that Kara couldn’t just use her superspeed to get all of her assignments done so quickly Andrea Rojas can really just go fuck off I don’t really understand what her motive is for fucking with Cat Co. Money, yes but what else? She doesn’t seem like the type of character to make money her only motive. I understand why Lena is doing what she is doing but then I think she’s missing what fundamentally makes us human, good and bad. Hope is very interesting idea because even especially now we’re having the discussion of can AI truly be neutral because of the programmers bias that automatically gets put into it, and I think she’s missing a large ethical chunk of the conversation.

Anyways, I have a lot of thoughts someone please ask me about them.

Supercorp headcanon:

The realization is almost startling. Kara hasn’t called her by her name in what seems to be a long time. They’ve seen each other nearly every day in the months following Alex and Kelly’s wedding, and yet Kara had said her given name only a handful of times, and only out in public.

Once Lena recognizes this curious phenomenon, she decides, as a scientist, that she needs empirical evidence to prove she hasn’t deluded herself into believing a fantasy. Over a two week period, Lena record dates, times, events, situations, and surrounding bystanders, and how each correlates to a different pet names from Kara.

By the end of the fortnite, the brunette has amassed a relatively large amount of data. Lena found that Kara called her:

Baby- 27 times

Babe- 15 times

Sweetheart- 10 times

Honey- 4 times

Lena is astounded to realize that:

1. She and Kara spend A LOT of time together; and

2. Kara has only called her by her name three times (two at The Foundation during a press conference, and one at CatCo when Lena dropped by to bring her favorite new Editor in Chief lunch.

Armed with proof, Lena plans to confront Kara when they meet tonight before game night. Unsurprisingly, Kara has already begun setting up snacks and games when Lena unlocks the door to what has become her shared apartment with Kara. Surprisingly, Lena didn’t have to find any sort of awkward segue to begin the conversation.

“Baby, what last game do you think we should set out for tonight? We played clue last week, but the last time we played monopoly it kind of got out of hand.”

“I wouldn’t say, ‘out of hand,’ Kara.”

“Babe, you bankrupted everyone and refused to end the game until Alex admitted you were the queen of monopoly. We do not need to have a repeat performance of that now that Esme will be coming.”

“Fine, let’s just play Candyland. Esme will enjoy it and she won’t have to struggle to keep up with the adults for this one.”

“Perfect idea, honey. Thanks for helping me pick,” Kara says as she finishes setting up and turns back around to face Lena.

Knowing there is no better opportunity than now, Lena asks if they can talk. If Kara swallows after she agrees, no one has to know. Lena leads Kara to the couch; they sit close enough to grasp hands if necessary but far enough to move their arms or legs without brushing against one another.

“Kara, why have you been calling me all these nicknames?”

“What do you mean? I’ve just been calling you by your name.”

It seems Lena didn’t factor in the possibility that Kara herself hadn’t realized she amassed such a large repertoire of pet names for Lena. A pink tinge crawls slowly up pale cheeks.

“Kar, you haven’t addressed me by my name outside of our jobs in months.”

“Okay, but we see each other every day. What have a been calling you?”

It seems Lena will have to shove her embarrassment in a little box so she can admit her findings to Kara.

“Well, you’ve… you’ve been calling me various terms of endearment.”

Kara chuckles at Lena’s overly formal response.

“Lee, just tell me what I’ve been calling you. It can’t be offensive, or you’d have brought this up ages ago.”

“You’ve been calling me ‘baby,’ and… and ‘babe,’ and ‘sweetheart,’ and—”

“Oh. Okay, did it bother you?”

“Well, no. I just—“

“Because if it has, I can totally stop. I’d hate to cross any boundaries.”

Boundaries. Since what Nia dubbed the “Friendship Breakup of the Century,” boundaries have been blurrier than ever. Even before Lex revealed Kara as Supergirl, boundaries between them were murky, tiptoeing back and forth over the line of friendship and something more. Lena has managed to keep her feelings stuffed into neat little boxes. She has never been certain if Kara felt what she did, never wanted to rock the boat of their relationship by calling to attention just how…intimate some aspects of their relationship are.

“What boundaries are there really left to cross, Kara?”

“What do you mean?”

It seems Lena will have to buck up and spell it out.

“We sleep in the same bed, for gods sake!”

Kara tilts her head, looking a bit like a confused puppy.

“What’s wrong with that? I thought you liked it!”

“I—I do!” Lena runs a hand through her wavy locks, growing increasingly frustrated by Kara’s inability to understand how odd their friendship is.

“So what’s the problem?!”

Lena jumps up, pacing back and forth in the space between the coffee table and the couch. She taps her fingers rhythmically against her crossed arms, trying to calm herself down.

“Friends don’t do this! The nicknames, sharing beds, and lunch dates, and movies nights cuddled up on the couch. Don’t you see how, how romantic this all is?!”

Kara jumps up, standing in Lena’s way, gently grabbing Lena’s shoulders. The blonde slowly uncrossed Lena’s arms, trailing her hands down until she is grasping Lena’s trembling hands. In the most soothing voice she can muster, Kara says,

“I mean, I guess. But we’ve never had a typical friendship, Lee. We’ve always been so much more, it doesn’t seem right to not do any of that. If you aren’t uncomfortable, and you don’t want me to stop, maybe…maybe all we have to do is stop being friends, and start being girlfriends.”

Girlfriends. Girlfriends? Lena can barely believe her ears.

“What did you just say?”

“I said, baby, be my girlfriend.” Kara gives Lena a beaming smile, watching as the brunette flounders to give her an answer.

“Girlfriends, like romantically, or…” Kara chuckles at Lena’s disbelieving tone.

“Yes, romantically! Like you said, there aren’t any boundaries left to cross but this one,” Kara moves her arms to Lena’s waist, leaning down slowly, giving the former CEO time to decline if she wants. Lena stares up at Kara, kryptonite green eyes roving between her lips and crystal blue eyes. With barely centimeters left between their lips, Lena surges forward onto her tiptoes, arms winding around Kara’s neck to pull her downward.

Seconds, minutes, even hours could have gone by before Kara breaks the kiss.

“So, is that a yes?”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Lena happily says, moving to hug Kara tightly.

“FINALLY!” A voice exclaims.

Kara looks up, having not noticed her sister peaking her head around the now open apartment door. Lena burrows her head into the crook of Kara’s neck, unwilling to part.

“You owe me $50, Nal!”

“Ugh. You guys couldn’t wait one more week? You just cost me big time,” Nia grumbles, fishing through her purse for Alex’s winnings as the Superfriends pile into the apartment for game night.

Lena finally pulls back from Kara’s neck, moving to welcome their friends, but isn’t able to stray far when the reporter wraps both arms around her waist, pulling the brunettes back flush to her chest.

“Kara!” Lena squeals, a pretty red blush blossoming up her neck and onto her cheeks.

“What, you just agreed to be my girlfriend, I’m never letting you go again,” Kara tells her as she leans down to press a kiss to her cheek.

“Later, when they leave, we can test out all our new boundaries,” Kara whispers quietly, placing a final kiss to the shell of her girlfriends ear before dragging Lena to the couch.

“Let’s play!”

*************

If Lena makes a point to win every game as quickly as possible, nearly shoving their family out the door at the end of the night, it’s no ones business but her own.

💖 rough kiss / hot and heavy / making out

please👉👈

oh anon, i am definitely the wrong person for this one, but here goes nothing:

- - - - - -

Lena has a secret.

No, it isn't that she’s doubling as a superhero in her free time. That’s Kara.

And no, it isn't that she has an unquenchable crush on her best friend. They'd solved that eons ago.

And definitely no, it isn’t that her toy collection is extensive and well-stocked. Everyone at game night already knows about that.

The secret went like this:

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing,” Lena replied with the innocence of a Luthor.

“So it just so happens that the bartender who has been making eyes at you all night is now being sized-up by my sister?”

“Correlation without causation. I thought you were a scientist,” Lena shrugged and tried her best to conceal a knowing smile.

“Uh-huh,” Alex replied with an arched eyebrow that said much more. “And that fact he grabbed your ass on the way to the bathroom?”

“Doesn’t ring a bell.”

“Well I for one am not about to do a bunch of paperwork over an NDA because Kara can’t keep it together over this ass-hat groping you, so if you will excuse me-”

- - - -

And this:

“Hey babe?”

“Hm?”

“What’s this?”

Lena looked up from her work and squinted at the letter gripped in Kara’s hand.

“Oh, it’s nothing. Just some administrative stuff,” Lena hummed and returned to her work.

“Doesn’t look like ‘nothing’. It looks like you were served.”

The scowl that followed was one that could be seen from space which meant it was impossible to ignore from across their apartment. Lena rolled her eyes.

“It’s just Morgan Edge playing bully again, darling.”

“Yea but,” Kara continued, eyes skimming the multi-page document that now had a few extra crinkles in it. “He’s suing for patent rights? Who does he think he is-”

“It’s nothing, really. I’ll handle it tomorrow.”

“You shouldn’t have to handle it in the first place.”

“It’s fine. Let’s just-”

But Kara was already gone through the terrace door and halfway across the city.

- - - -

And most of all, this:

“Ms. Luthor, The Sun has accused you of covering up nearly a dozen fatalities since-”

“Lena Luthor, it has been alleged that Obsidian North’s stolen technology was found in L-Corp’s latest-”

“Ms. Luthor, how do you explain the recent deaths associated with-”

“How do you sleep at night when your maniac brother is still on the loose-”

“No comment,” Lena repeated for the eighteenth time. She pushed ahead, trying to find a path between L-Corp’s front door and the waiting car that would take her home. Unfortunately, the best path was also the longest. Worse, when she looked ahead, her car was nowhere to be found. What she did find was wall-to-wall traffic and no chance of freedom.

Great.

More questions were hurled, a flash sent blotches across her vision. Another came an inch away and sent her staggering. It felt like a garbage compactor except worse because garbage compactors weren’t sentient creatures known for shouting lies while doing its job.

She clambered through the crowd and found a gap. She glanced around for her security guard who was lost amidst a second offshoot of angry journalists and misinformed citizens. Now wasn’t the time for manners as three journalists and an oversized camera pivoted toward her, so instead of waiting, she booked it down the sidewalk.

They followed with vigor and ignorance and a stubbornness that would have made Lillian proud, shouting rather uncreative conspiracy theories and growing closer by the second. Lena turned a corner then, in a move she might have patted herself on the back for, slipped into an alley. She breathed a sigh of relief until-

“Ms. Luthor-”

“Lena Luthor-”

“-you can’t hide from the truth.”

“Oh for fuck’s sake,” Lena heaved, staggering backwards in the kind of stereotypical way she mocked television shows for.

The cameraman was fastest, breaking into her personal space and jamming the lens into her face.

“Ms. Luthor-”

“-is it true Supergirl won’t speak to you?”

“-how does it feel having National City’s Darling reject you?”

What happened next might have been comical if Lena weren’t breathless, irritated, and fuming that her anniversary dinner was being interrupted by a wave of wannabe reporters hanging onto the coattails of the marketing dollars that funded their tabloids.

Be that as it was, she was not in her usual smirky-mood when the burst of air sent all of them turning on heel to find an equally irritated and equally fuming Supergirl towering over them with the kind of anger usually reserved for the extra-bad baddies.

“S-supergirl,” they all seemed to whimper in unison.

The camera was fumbled then dropped. The lens splintered with a deserved crack. A few short seconds later, it was the only evidence anyone with a press badge had been there.

“Where’d you take them?” Lena asked when Kara whooshed down moments later. She pushed off the brick wall and closed the distance, raising her hands to fix Kara’s ruffled cape.

“I considered the middle of the Pacific-” Kara shrugged.

“Oh is that right?” Lena smirked, letting her hands climb to brush an errant strand of hair into place.

“But then I remembered the whole ‘hope, help, and compassion’ thing,” she continued, her own hands finding a home on Lena’s waist. “So I dropped them off just outside the city limits instead.”

And there it was: the secret. Somewhere between Kara, all beet-faced and rage hovering over the cowering reporters and then dragging said group of gaggling reporters to the edges of town, Lena felt it - that tiny pang of warmth and safety and appreciation that always came with her overprotective Kryptonian. It also usually sent a tiny pang of something else through her.

“Well that was very big of you,” Lena replied, the gap between lips narrowing. “But just so you know,” she continued, her breath ghosting across Kara’s lips, “I had it handled-”

Kara skipped her lines and closed the gap, pressing lips, hands, and body against Lena until her back found the brick wall again and nothing but the taste, touch, and smell of Kara consumed her. Lips dragged to Lena’s jawline then neck then exposed shoulder. Hands grabbed against the restrictions of fabric. Lena cursed (again) the constraints of a supersuit.

“I really need to design you a new suit,” Lena huffed.

“Probably for the best.” Kara replied, fingers venturing dangerously close to public indecency. “Alex says we need to leave before someone sees us anyway.”

“Tell Alex to stop committing voyeurism. There are websites for that.”

“Oh, she did not like that,” Kara snickered, lips pressing a final kiss to the crook of Lena’s neck.

“Turn that thing off and take me home, Supergirl.”

“What about our reservations?”

“I have other dinner plans tonight.”

#I headcanon that Lena secretly likes when Kara gets overprotective of her not because it causes a scene but because it reinforces the feelin #which was like. kind of definitely missing from her childhood #the make-out sessions that follow aren’t too bad either #the dinner that follows the make-out session aren't too bad either either #anon #qs with quinn #ask game

Joining The Superfriends - 25

Read Joining The Superfriends on AO3 here!

Kara gasps at the sight of the suit Lena is proudly standing beside, a positively attractive smug look painted across her face.

“Lena, it’s incredible.” She moves closer tentatively with her arm outstretched. The moment her fingertips brush against the fabric, she starts grinning. “Can I try it on?”

Lena shrugs. “Well, it is yours so it would be rude of me to say no.”

Kara’s face is the picture of wonder and Lena just can’t take her eyes off of her, not having it in her to get her to hurry because the team is still out there fighting against the Lexo-suits. Kara takes her time in looking the suit over, her hands running over it several times over as she takes in every tiny feature of it.

“I have no idea how you found the time to do this but it’s incredible. You’re incredible.” Kara takes the helmet in her hands. “You do realize that I have a head of steel though right? I don’t think I need a crash helmet.”

“It’s to lock in the suit because when you have the helmet on, you’re in an environmentally controlled space and that means that you are protected from Kryptonite as long as the helmet is on with the suit,” Lena explains. “Now, are you going to try it on? I think that there are a few people outside that would love to see your new look.”

In response, she gets another grin and then Kara speeds away with the suit in tow. She returns not two seconds later wearing the suit with the helmet tucked beneath her arm. “How’d I look?”

“Positively incredible,” Lena answers, her eyes taking in the assets in front of her…the assets of the suit that is. Totally.

Kara nods. “Awesome. I’m gonna go test it out and get the others back here. Back in a jiff!”

As she practically skips away to leave The Tower, Lena has to resist the urge to roll her eyes at Kara’s choice of words but it would be a shame to break eye contact with the curve of her ass and her thighs that are no longer being covered by a pesky thing like a cape.

Kara rounds the corner and just like that, Lena snaps out of her very obvious gawping and kicks herself back into gear. There’s a war raging outside and she can’t just waste time staring at a very attractive ass rather than working.

With a bit of pep in her step, Lena makes her way back to the monitors to see what is happening outside and keep track of where the team is before she goes and starts working the synthetic Kryptonite so she can destabilize the cores of the Lexo-suits.

Kara’s tracker moves quickly, Lena’s eyes following the little blue dot that marks Kara’s location as she soars across the city. Through the CCTV footage, Lena can see the Lexo-suits aiming for her with their kryptonite blasters which have little effect other than a slight impact from the force of it. The suit is absorbing it all though, just how she designed it.

Supergirl lands with her hands on her hips, her helmet shielding her face and stopping Lena from being able to see what her expression is but she’d say that it’s a fair assumption that she’s probably looking either like an excited puppy or an overly confident, smug alien with one hell of an ego boost. It’s probably somewhere in between though.

Alex is looking up at her from her hiding spot with a shocked expression. That’s a feat in and of itself because Alex isn’t one to wear her emotions on her sleeve, especially in the middle of her fight, always keeping as much of what she’s thinking to herself as she possibly can just in case it can give her an advantage.

Her eyes drift up and down the figure in front of her, the glyph on their chest giving away their identity right away.

“Supergirl?”

“That’s me! Look at the awesome suit Eagle One made me, it’s anti-kryptonite!” Kara gushes, doing a little spin that is definitely not how she should be acting whilst there are Lexo-suits still actively seeking to murder her.

Alex’s head bobs up and down, mostly just because she’s in shock because they have been trying to figure out a way to protect Kara from kryptonite for years and have never managed to come anywhere near as close to protecting her to this level before. The best they did was when Winn made her a kryptonite shield that gave her some protection from it and Brainy later boosted its power of it but it never stopped it from hurting, not the way this suit must be because she’s watching Kara be pummelled with blasts and she’s not so much as flinching.

Alex ducks back down where she has been taking cover behind a truck and urges Kara to come and join her. When Kara slides next to her, she grabs her wrist. Do you have contact with our friend in The Tower?”

Kara nods. “Yeah, the comms in my helmet work.”

“Cool, then Eagle One, I’m totally buying you a bottle of something good for making this suit for this dummy.” Alex leans closer to Kara and raises her voice to make sure that Lena can hear her.

Lena chuckles to herself. “Supergirl, please tell Sentinel that she’s very welcome and I will gladly accept that bottle.” She laughs harder when in response she hears Kara whine in annoyance.

Kara bumps her shoulder into Alex’s. She said she wants the bottle and that you’re welcome.”

Alex grins. “Tell her—”

“No!” Kara holds up a hand. “I am not doing this. We have to get to the others and we have to get back to The Tower. We have to make a plan because this is all a mess.” She gestures up to the Lexo-suits that are still blasting away around them.

Alex looks up at the sky and then at the destruction left behind by the Lexo-suits, the rubble of what used to be important buildings. It’s sad to see and it tugs at her heartstrings but there’s no time for that right now. “I know where Kelly is, she’s a couple of blocks away, she was helping people trying to escape.”

“Hold onto me and tell me which way,” Kara demands while wrapping an arm around Alex’s waist and shooting up into the sky before she can fully register what just happened. She gains her bearings rapidly once they are in the sights of the Lexo-suits that immediately start firing at them, Kara turning her back to them and taking the brunt of the blasts.

She points Kara in the direction of where she saw Kelly last before they were forced to split up so they could try and get any civilians that have changed their minds and want to leave after earlier refusing to out of the city, or at least out of the city centre where a lot of the destruction is being targeted towards.

Kelly is found really quickly, her gold suit helpful for spotting her, something that’s a good thing when they are the ones trying to find her but not so good when it’s enemies trying to target her. They land right beside her and she looks at them with a face full of relief. The civilians are nowhere to be seen so they either took off or are hiding again and taking cover.

“Nice suit, Supergirl.”

“Thanks!” Kara grins beneath her helmet and offers her a hand. “We’re reconvening at The Tower so grab hold and then I’ll head out to find the others.”

Kelly finds herself quickly scooped up by Kara with a hand around her waist and Alex in the same position opposite her. Even though she knows that Kara has got her and that she couldn’t be in safer hands, she still keeps a good grip on Kara’s shoulders, her knuckles whitening from how hard she’s holding on.

Kara drops them off just up the block from The Tower. “Here, head right on up and get filled in on what we know. Any idea where the others are?” Kelly shakes her head just as Lena comes in through the comms, telling her exactly where to find Nia, Brainy and J’onn because she can see them on the CCTV footage. “Thank you, heading out now.”

Alex and Kelly figure out who she’s talking to right away and wave her goodbye whilst heading for the entrance to J’onn’s PI office since they have to get inside through the ground floor since it’s on lockdown. It’s a good thing really because the second they are inside and the elevator doors shut behind them, they feel instantly safer and can actually catch their breaths without being shot at.

Kara, on the other hand, is actively being shot at whilst searching for the others. She finds them dutifully fighting away across town, Nia creating a protective shield out of dream energy whilst Brainy uses physics in a very odd yet effective way to lure the Lexo-suits in closer to him so he can study them for any signs of weaknesses. It’s not great news though because he has yet to see anything.

J’onn is flying high above them and using his pure strength to rip them apart. It’s somewhat effective but it’s a slow process and with the sheer number of them, he would be here for months trying to rid the city of them if he was to stick with this method.

Kara aims for him first and she takes him by surprise enough that he grabs her by the shoulders with a decent amount of pressure before pausing when he realizes that she’s not an enemy.

“Sorry.” He apologizes right away, releasing her.

“Don’t worry about it. We’re heading back to base to make a plan. I’ll get Nia, you get Brainy.”

J’onn nods resolutely. “Got it.”

Kara doesn’t give Nia any warning before flying down and scooping her up, laughing when she squeals softly and drops the badass persona she was donning just a moment ago.

“Hey, Dreamer. I got a new suit!” Kara boasts.

Nia recognises her voice and relaxes into her. “Holy shit, you scared me. Jerk.” She swats at Kara’s helmet with the back of her hand.

“Hey! Don’t hurt my totally cool helmet.”

As she’s flying, purposely flying high up in the clouds to try and avoid as many of the Lexo-suits as possible, she turns her head to see J’onn and Brainy flying just behind them, very obviously using Kara as cover for when they occasionally get shot at. Kara’s not sure if she’s offended by being used for cover or not but she’ll figure it out once they are safe and the fight is over.

She flies right into the office and heads for the wall where the elevator is hidden, only setting Nia down when they are all inside the tiny space and on their way up to the others. The rest of the team is waiting for them when they arrive up into the main part of The Tower and they all share a brain cell for a single moment when they roll their eyes at Kara’s dramatic hair flip after pulling her helmet off and tucking it under her arm the same way she did earlier.

“Show off.” Nia mumbles.

Kara, having heard it thanks to a little thing called Super hearing, smiles at her with a shrug. “Sometimes you’ve just got to.”

Nia can’t help but agree with that. Sometimes she just has to have her diva moments too and if she didn’t then she’d be the most boring person on Earth…or maybe the grumpiest. Sort of like Oliver Queen.

Lena fills them in on her plan to create synthetic Kryptonite and has them all clean up and fuel up while she makes it. Alex insists on helping her so it’s done quicker and also bans Kara from entering the lab whether she has her new suit on or not because it’s so unstable that she doesn’t want to take any risks with her little sister.

Since the others have been left to their own devices, they decide to try and come up with their own plan to stop the Lexo-suits but there’s not much they can do because they don’t know exactly how Lena is going to merge the kryptonite cores of the robots with the synthetic kryptonite.

Brainy just can’t stand not knowing something so he ends up heading off to the lab to join Lena and Alex so he can help out and get answers to all of his questions, in complete awe of Lena’s handiwork and thrilled that he gets to work with a human that can almost compete with his twelfth-level intellect.

J’onn and Nia end up going and doing what Lena told them to do, taking it in turns using the bathroom to clean themselves up of all of the dust and grime they have been covered with, or in J’onn’s case, oil. He’s gotten himself covered in it because of the way he was tearing the Lexo-suits apart.

Nia goes for a nap too, very fitting of a woman called Dreamer. J’onn doesn’t do that but he does go and meditate afterwards.

Kelly stays with Kara though. They find themselves sitting on a couch just staring ahead into space whilst trying to come up with solutions they know they won’t be able to come up with but try nonetheless.

A whole lot of staring and silence goes by before Kelly flops her head back into the couch cushions and turns it to face Kara. “I really like the new suit by the way.”

“I do too. I don’t know if I’ll use it for day-to-day stuff because it’s very high-tech and well, as cool as it is, my other suit is a bit more casual for everyday usage, or as casual as I can get with a superhero costume anyway, I really love it though, I’ll have to come up with a way to thank Lena for making it for me.”

Kelly snorts. “I can think of a way she’d probably like to be thanked.”

Kara’s head whips around to look at Kelly and she actually gasps at the devilish glint in Kelly’s eyes. She doesn’t often see this side of Kelly and when she does, it’s usually at the same time Alex has her disgustingly dirty mind out to play and she ends up being traumatized right after. This is different. This is Kelly teasing her about Lena, this is new.

“Kelly!” Kara’s mouth is dropped open in shock. “I cannot believe you just said that.”

Kelly just shrugs, “Oh come on, Kara, we both know that with how much you’ve been showing off that suit, the one that Lena made to show off your ass by the way, and you’re totally going to show her how much you appreciate it later on. She is your girlfriend, it’s not like it’s a shock to anyone.”

The last sentence makes her splutter the most and she shakes her head furiously. “She’s not— She’s not my girlfriend. We’re not at that point.”

Kelly snorts again, an undignified sound that rumbles dep from her chest. “believe me, Kara. She is. You might not have made it officially official but you are. You’re exclusively dating each other and eye fucking every moment you can, that’s not even counting the physical aspect of your relationship.”

“Am I being psychoanalysed right now?”

“Nah, I’d charge you if I was doing that. I’m just pointing out that the pair of you are idiots because you’re dating without making it official because you’re too scared of having too much on your plate when really, you’d have the same amount because you are actually together in all but the name of it. You should fix that, she seems to do her best work when she’s happy, just look at the calorie powder she made you and the suit. She has a soft spot for blondes.”

Kara’s cheeks flush but Kelly’s words do make her think. There is definitely some truth to her words and really, it wouldn’t hurt to just have the conversation with Lena once the fight is over and if she’s in a good place afterwards because they are fighting her brother so it’s not exactly the best time to be asking her to be her girlfriends. Or maybe it is. Maybe it is a good thing. She’s not sure but right now is not a good time.

“I’ll think about that. For now, I just want to stare at that wall a little bit longer until my head is blissfully empty.”

“Now that’s a plan I can get behind.” Kelly stops looking at Kara and refocuses her eyes back on the spot she was staring at mere moments ago. “Just don’t think about it for too long, you’ll think yourself in circles and never actually do anything.”

“I never do that.”

“You always do that.”

If Lena weren’t so good at what she does, it would be a hard task for her to make the kryptonite. She’s lucky enough to be blessed with the skills it takes for her to be able to create it with ease, almost like she had done it a thousand times before. In fact, the entire time she’s been making it, Alex has been watching her with thinly veiled intrigue because this is the first real time she’s seen Lena in her element like this, working away with quick hands that couldn’t be surer in each action. It’s fascinating to see.

Despite Lena’s speed and expertise, making the kryptonite isn’t as quick as she would like it to be. She’s just barely finishing up now and it’s been two and a half hours. Two and a half hours in which the Lexo-suits have been methodically destroying the city and based on the way masses of them are all swirling around the sky over on this side of town, it won’t be long until the fight is brought to them.

Kara and J’onn have tried to buy them more time by drawing the suits away, flying over to the docks and then doing what J’onn was doing earlier, manually destroying each suit by ripping them apart. Slowly but surely, they get covered in oil just the same way J’onn did earlier and that makes him puff in annoyance since now he’s going to have to shower again to get all of the grime off of him.

It does give Kara an idea though and she started using her freeze breath to try and freeze the oil inside the suits that is essentially lubricant so the Lexo-suits become unable to move and it makes them easier to handle.

The problem she found is that the suits are rigorously temperature controlled, that is unless they take a good whack to the left side of their chests, that must be where the regulator is so they end with J’onn punching and then Kara freezing. When they do this when they’re flying, it stops the suits from moving and flying too so they drop to the ground and essentially destroy themselves.

It’s not something that they can do for every suit, there are simply too many of them, but it’s a great way to buy Lena some time and it works well.

Lena calls them back in once the kryptonite is ready, a plan of action in place so she can get it out into the Lexo-suits, one that includes the pair of them wrangling an arrant Lexo-suit back with them, a bag is thrown over its head. They know it’s risky because they are essentially giving away their location by doing that but this is their best shot and they trust Lena.

Kara is shooed away and J’onn is left to struggle to hold the suit alone, Nia uses her dream energy to help as much as she can when she spots his battle. Lena doesn’t want Kara in the room when she does this, even with her new suit, she just doesn’t want to risk it, so she’s sent off to go and take cover in another room.

With the kryptonite heart exposed so that it can shoot beams of energy at them, destroying a good portion of the room’s décor in the process, Lena simply jams the new kryptonite into the old one, the two moulding together quickly because she has created the new, artificial kryptonite to bond with original kryptonite, making it unstable but also making it become drawn to each other.

This is how it will spread. They will release the infected Lexo-suit out into the streets again and the artificial kryptonite will draw other suits near and infect them too. Within a few pulses of their blasters, the kryptonite will be so unstable that it will blow up and take out any Lexo-suits in the surrounding areas with it. It’s a win-win.

That’s one problem actively dealing with itself now, there’s one very big problem still lurking over the city. One that is a ship with spider legs that is still somehow pumping out new Lexo-suits, probably to replace the ones being destroyed. At least they aren’t coming out in the same influx as they were originally though, that would be a mess, now it’s just a few every now and again. It’s…manageable.

“Kara, it’s best you stay here until the majority of the Lexo-suits have destroyed themselves. We don’t know what that kryptonite could do to you, it was already synthetic and weird before I got my hands on it and changed it up, I didn’t have time to test it so there’s no saying what effects it could have on you. I don’t want you to get hurt.” Lena spouts out, her hands on Kara’s shoulders as she blocks her path to the elevator as though she could actually stop a Kryptonian if she really wanted to.

Thankfully for Lena, Kara stops when she feels the pressure of her hands and stops trying to make her way out so she can join the fight at this stage. Lena is grateful for that because her shoes are nowhere near grippy enough for her to not just go sliding right across the floorboards with Kara’s powerful strides.

“I trust the suit you’ve built me, Lena. I’m sure I’ll be fine.” Kara argues gently, her voice soft. Earnest even. Lena shakes her head. “I built that suit to protect you against pure kryptonite, not whatever weird form of kryptonite I’ve just created. It could affect you for all we know and we don’t know what it could do to you. How it could hurt you or change your psyche or a whole laundry list of other options. You need to stay here for your own sake as well as the team’s sake.”

Kara knows Lena has a point and she really managed to deliver it home with the point about it potentially changing her psyche. Red kryptonite was one of the worst things she’s ever had done to her, not because it caused her physical pain but because it made her hurt the people she cares about the most.

Her shoulders drop and the tension lifts from pretty much every muscle in her body. Lena feels the change beneath her palms and finds herself relaxing too.

“I’m sorry. I know you have a good point; I just can’t stand sitting on the sidelines, not again, I already did that earlier and I wasn’t expecting to be benched again so soon after getting the new suit.”

Lena smiles at her, her hands moving to gently rub from her shoulders down to her biceps soothingly. “I know. I’m sorry to be making you sit it out again but it’s just for a while. I don’t think we’ll have to wait too long anyway because the kryptonite infection is spreading rapidly and the Lexo-suits are being destroyed at an alarming rate really, you will be out there in no time. Until then, you’ll just have to put up with me for a little longer. Think you’ll manage?”

That makes Kara crack a smile. A reluctant one, but still a smile. “I think I can suffer through it.”

“Good.” Lena smiles back at her, all teeth and softness. “Want to come and watch some footage of robots blowing up with me?”

“Sounds like one hell of a date, I’m in.” Kara offers her hand and Lena takes it, pulling her instantly in the right direction.

Kelly sits across the room, her hand curled around her mug of tea and her guardian helmet and shield abandoned next to her feet. She shakes her head at the pair of them. “These absolute idiots.”

The others just keep doing whatever it is they’re doing to prepare for the fight to come, the one where they figure out how to fight an absolute unit of a ship. They’ve seen enough of Kara and Lena together at this point to know that they probably don’t want to know whatever it is they’re talking about because it’s either something they don’t want to hear because it’s traumatizing or it’s something they don’t want to know because it makes them facepalm because they are so oblivious to the ways they are just completely obsessed with each other at this point and yet unwilling to admit it to the other.

They can’t wait to get out of here and get stuck into the fight just to get away from their pining. Well, that and to save the city but tomato, tomato.

Standing side by side, Lena and Kara lean into each other slightly as they watch Lexo-suit after Lexo-suit get blown to smithereens with each blast from their kryptonite hearts, the unstable kryptonite taking much less time than the original synthetic kryptonite before it explodes.

Because they are so grouped together, when one goes, at least three more are taken down with it and in one lucky chain, Kara and Lena find themselves enthralled and grinning as they watch a chain of about two dozen exploding one after the other, the flames filling the sky and the broken pieces left from the robots raining down onto the city like a mechanical rain.

“Well, that’s something.” Kara marvels, the sky clearing faster than she imagined it would.

“It certainly is.” Lena agrees. “And I think that we should start planning to take down the ship because it won’t be long before we are set to head outside.”

Kara nods happily, glad that she won’t have to wait long before being able to join in the flight. J’onn, Brainy and Nia have already started out towards the ship, scouting it from both the ground and the air whilst being very careful to not get caught up in any of the blasts.

“So, have you figured out where we can get inside the ship?” Kara asks Lena when the woman leaves her side to go and survey the board where the drawings of the ship are hung.

Lena’s eyes flick over the drawings, her brain going back and forth because she just can’t decide, Lex is a smart guy. She’s smarter but she’s smart enough to know that at some point in every smart guy’s life, he has a genius idea so she can’t just assume that she knows best.

The part of the ship that she assumes is just a dud filtration system makes her panic a little because while she has a strong feeling they are just that, dud, she can’t help but get a strong feeling in her gut that just maybe, it’s not and it’s made to look that way and the ‘real’ filtration system is actually the dud. Either way, they have to aim for them to get inside.

“No, I need to see if for myself to know.”

Kara’s head shoots up. “You mean in person?”

Lena groans. “Unfortunately. Would you mind flying me over there so I can take a closer look? After that, I will happily come back and take cover and let you people do what you do best and kick ass, I don’t want any part in that nonsense.”

“It’ll be really dangerous.” Kara simply replies, her eyebrows pulled together in concern. “You could get really hurt out there and who knows what your brother would do to you if he knew you were out there?”

Lena shrugs. “I know. I would rather not go out there either but I can’t know for sure what is happening without being able to see it with my own two eyes.”

Kara turns away from her and for a second, Lena thinks she’s going to refuse to take her and waste time they don’t have to argue with her and come up with another plan but she sees Kara’s shoulders sag and her head tip forward. When she turns back around towards her, the bridge of her nose is pinched between a finger and a thumb.

“Ok. I’ll take you but first, I’ll go and get the spare body armour we have from storage. If you’re going out there, you’re being as protected as we can get you and I’ll grab Dreamer too on the way so she can create a shield around you guys should the need arise.”

Lena’s eyes twinkle in delight. “Sounds awesome.”

She really wasn’t expecting Kara to go along with it but a little childlike part of herself is thrilled that she’s about to go and fight with superheroes, even if she’s not doing the fighting. She’s not particularly excited to be in danger but knowing that Kara and Nia will have her back along with the rest of the team, that eases her mind greatly and she just knows that she’s not just going to remember this day for the terrible destruction that has occurred and probably still will occur.

It’s going to take a long time for the city to recover from the damage, both physically and mentally, but they’ll get there. She knows they will because looking around at Kara and then at Kelly and Alex across the room, she knows these people are the best in the city and with them in the corner of National City, they can only thrive.

Lena’s eyes meet the sharp blue of Kara’s. “Alright, you get the armour, I’ll make a plan. Let’s get ready to take Lex’s ship of horrors.”
