Supercorp One-Shots and Parallels

Ms. Danvers?

Small rewrite of when Kara sees Lena in that goddamned sUIT GOOD LORD SAVE US ALL

"Yeah, send that downstairs for layout processing," Kara confirms to a coworker with a nod. "Good work, Jenkins." She smiles at him and turns to see that Nia's at her side with a drive in her hand.

"Finished with that article on Supergirl and Dreamer teaming up to stop Lex Luthor before the city was destroyed." Nia goes to hand her the drive and pulls it back when her mentor reaches for it. "And Dreamer is not mentioned as a sidekick," she whispers to her with a grin, placing the drive in her fingers.

"Sure she isn't," Kara teases with a grin, walking to her office.

Nia raises her arms up and lets them fall back down with a slap to her thighs. "She is not!" Kara keeps grinning to herself as she walks into her office and around her desk and doesn't bother to sit down as she pulls out the document, scanning it over.

"Hey, Kara, I've been trying to call you all day." She looks up at the voice and sees her sister at the doorway.

"Sorry, work's been a mess all day," Kara sighs, going back down to her screen as her sister walks in. "Since James is still on medical leave, I've been handling things."

"How's it feel? Being Cat Grant?"

Kara chuckled with her, nodding her head to the side. "Stressful."

"You don't look stressed," Alex comments.

The blonde shrugged and tapped her temple. "All up here."

"Well, Ms. Danvers." Kara grins at that voice before she even looks up and when she does, her jaw is on the floor, and her sister's, too. "That's what you get when you try to run a company without your best friend for a day." 

Lena Luthor was smirking as she had both hands in the pockets of her three-piece burgundy suit, looking finer than ever. She tilted her head as she caught the Danvers staring with their mouths agape. "Cat got your tongues?"

"I, uh," Alex clears her throat. "I'm gonna go check on Kelly, make sure she's settled in well." She looks Lena up and down subtly as she brushes past her, leaving the two alone.

Kara clears her throat quietly, muttering something in Kryptonian to herself before she managed to get out without stuttering, "What can I do for you, boss?" 

Lena shut the door behind her silently so that the two had their privacy. "I just wanted to thank you for stepping up and taking the reigns for a day. I know it's hard, but you managed just fine."

Kara chuckles as she shuts her laptop to give her full undivided attention to her. "You make it look easy, Lee," she said as she went around her desk to meet her halfway as she leaned back on it. "I mean, you run two companies, that's astonishing."

"Well, it's easier when you have your best friend by your side." Kara bows her head down at that to conceal her blush.

"Think you'll ever outgrow that?" she asks, looking back up.

"Not if I want to say that for the rest of my life." Kara sees her green eyes shimmer as she bites her lower lip, possibly restraining herself.

"What was your gay awakening?" the blonde asks, barely above a whisper.

Lena chuckles at that and looks down as she remembers. "College. One of my... teacher assistants was just stunning." She shrugged as she looked back up at her. "Things happened and we never spoke about it again. Why do you ask?"

"Just wanted to see if what my sister said was true about everyone having a gay awakening."

"And why do you want to test that theory?" Lena asks, taking a small step towards her.

"Because I'm pretty sure that I just had mine," Kara whispered. "And it was you in this suit."

"Well, I'll say that you have perfect timing, Ms. Danvers, because I came in here to tell you," she pauses for a moment, leaving her mouth open as she tries to find the correct words she wants to phrase this. "I could never get you out of my head since the first day we met." Her eyes flicked back up to the blue ones, not sure exactly what she sees in them since they were growing blacker by the second.

Kara notices the little space between them, eyes flicking down to the ground, then her lips, then back to her eyes before she whispers, "Can I kiss you?"

"If you weren't going to ask, I was."

lmao this was shitty 'cause it was probably done at 2 am but oh well there might be another shot later
