Delicate - Supercorp

Chapter 1 - The Day The Secret Was Spilled.

Lena Luthor had found out about the 'super' secret 4 days ago. She had found out in the worst way possible. It wasn't Kara that told her, it wasn't even Alex or any of her 'friends'. She was told be none other than her, evil and manipulative brother, Lex. She had just shot him, he was dying, he was dying for god sake, but there was no way he was going to let Lena have her moment, he would use his dying breathe to ruin her life, more than her already had.

She wouldn't have believed him, but he had proof. He had video evidence of Kara using her powers. The sad thing is, in every example Lena is right there, just a few feet away, its like Kara wasn't even trying that hard to hide it, but still somehow Lena didn't know. Lena was blinded and naive, she wanted to badly to believe Lex was lying, that somehow he had faked the footage, that somehow none of it was true. That somehow, Kara Danvers was just that, Kara Danvers, CATCO reporter, pizza and potsticker enthusiast, human.

Lena had attended that family game night after she found out, she hadn't wanted to be she had to go and see for herself. She watched Kara closely for the entire night, now able to pick up on all the clues, thinking back to all the time she'd spent with Kara, everything she said, and did. Lena could now see clearly every little clue Kara had given her purposely or not. She thought about that time Kara told her she flew here on a bus. Oh how stupid Lena felt, how could she not have noticed?

Lena laughed, joked and smiled exactly as she would had she not just found out her best friend of 3 years had been lying to her. Everyone may know that Kara is Supergirl, but no one knew Lena knew and she intended to keep it that way, at least until she was sure what her next move was going to be.

Lena Luthor had come to National City with the intention of taking down Supergirl and eventually Superman, she'd start with the new and rising SUPER hero, then work her way up to the big league, Superman. She'd succeed where Lex had failed, she'd finally prove herself to Lillian. What she hadn't intended was that she would fall in love, least of all with Supergirl herself, granted she didn't know at the time. From the very moment Kara stepped foot into Lena's office she knew Kara was going to become the most important thing in her life. You could call her crazy but she knew, and she was right, like she often is.

At first she wasn't going to let her crush on the blonde reporter get in the way of her plan to take down Supergirl, but soon she figure out how important 'Supergirl' was too Kara. It faltered her plans slightly, then there was the way Kara spoke about the aliens of National City. The way she spoke about how good, kind and normal they all were. This faltered her plans again. Then finally there was the way Kara spoke about Lena, how she told her she was good, how she was not her family, that she didn't need their approval, they she was more than them, better than them. That was the final straw of Lena, thats what crumpled all of her plans. She knew Kara was a good reporter, she knew Kara was god with her words, but never in a million years did Lena Luthor think she would be talked out of her 'evil' plans by someone who didn't know they were doing it.

Lena soon came to realise that now matter how hard she tried she'd never have gone through with her plans, she simply didn't have it in her, not really, though the name is confusing and has even corrupted Lena's mind, she knew deep down she was not a Luthor, not the evil kind anyway, she was going to be good, she wanted to be good, she wanted to be good for Kara.

Now that brings us to present day.

Lena is sat in her office, she had been working extra long hours the past few days. She was trying her best to avoid a certain blonde haired beauty. She'd been failing though, Kara had come by every night with bags of food, insisting that Lena needed to eat. Of course Lena couldn't say no, god knows she wanted to, she wanted to scream and shout, kick Kara out and never talk to her again, but she couldn't, every time she was about to, Kara as if knowing would flash her that infectious smile of hers and Lena would cave in and tell herself 'tomorrow'.

Tonight was no different, she heard the gentle knock at the door, the quite squeak as the door was pushed open, the contagious sound of Kara's laugh as she walked in smiling about something Lena's assistant had said. It had been the same for the last 4 days.

"Hi Lena, I brought you your favorite salad from that place down the block, and some doughnuts because I know how much you secretly enjoy them." Kara laughed placing the bags of food down on the table by the couch. Lena stood from her desk, walking over to Kara pulling her into what would normally be a bone crushing hug.

"Lena? Are you okay? You never...."

"Kara I'm fine, let's just eat okay?" Lena said not wanting to her the rest of the woman's sentence.

"Okay." Kara replied, not quite as cheery as normal, the blonde woman not accepting what Lena had said.

The two sat in comfortable silence eating their food. This is one of the things that upset Lena most, even though she knew, even though she was incredibly angry at Kara, she couldn't help but feel home whenever the woman was near. Comfort was never a thing Lena was used to, yes she was rich and could buy what ever she wanted, but that wasn't comfort, that was material things. She never had the warmth, secure, homely kind of comfort you get from family or someone you love. Or at least she didn't until she met Kara.

Lena was broken from her comfortable silence my Kara shifting uncomfortably in her seat.

"Lena? Can we talk about something?" Kara asked looking at Lena like her heart was about to break. Lena knew what was coming, or at least what she hoped what coming.

"Of course Kara, we can talk about anything." Lena said trying her best to be supportive of her best friend, but also trying very hard not to shout out the truth.

"Lena.....I haven't been completely honest with you."

"I know."

"You know?"

"I know." Lena said a bit more forcefully this time, she had spent the last 4 days wishing it was Kara that had told her the truth but now it was finally happening she didn't want her too, she didn't want to give her the satisfaction.

"Oh...."

"Oh." Lena half mocked the blank expression on Kara's face.

"Are you mad?" Kara asked. Lena couldn't help but laugh at how stupid the question was, of course she was made, what ever made Kara think she wouldn't.

"AM I MAD? YOU MEAN AM I ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS THAT YOU KEPT IT FROM MY FOR 3 YEARS! THAT YOU LIED TO MY FACE! THEY YOU BETRAYED ME! HONESTLY KARA HOW STUPID ARE YOU?!" Lena screamed, she hadn't meant to, she tried to keep it in, little boxes. She couldn't help it, she finally had her opportunity to scream and shout and she was gonna take it. She'd punch Kara right now, if it weren't for that fact she'd break her hand on that perfectly beautiful face of hers.#

"Lena....its not like that...I was trying to...."

"TRYING TO WHAT KARA? PROTECT ME? I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! I CAN'T! I CAN'T DO THIS!" Lena shouted standing and walking back towards her desk.

"Why? Lena we need to talk about this." Kara says walking over to Lena.

"I CAN'T!" Lena yells not even bothering to look at the Kryptonian stood in her office.

"WHY?" Kara cries.

"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!" Lena screams with all the force her lungs can muster. "I love you and you broke me. I can't do that anymore, I can't do this anymore, get out." Lena says her voice becoming suddenly very quite.

"Lena I...."

"I SAID GET OUT KARA! DON'T MAKE ME FORCE YOU!" Lena said angrily whilst reaching for a small lead box in her desk. Kara didn't even need to scan the box to know what was in it. Slowly she took a few steps back not taking her eyes off Lena. Sadly she turned and headed out of the door.

"I love you two Lena...." The blonde whispered as she walk through the door and out of the building.

"Well you shouldn't......" Lena whispered back opening the box and placing the kryptonite onto her desk. She didn't want to hurt Kara but this was the only way of keeping her away long enough for Lena to decide what she did want to do.
