Supercorp One Shots

Two Worlds, One Family

                          By: superkarasdanvers
Lena and Kara were curled up together, both wearing nothing but t-shirts and underwear. Kara had her arms wrapped around Lena's waist, spooning her and placing gentle kisses on her neck.

It was Saturday morning and the city was surprisingly quiet. It couldn't have been later than 9 am as Kara heard the familiar hum from her girlfriend, telling her she was coming to. This was Kara's favorite way to wake Lena up in the mornings. Well, the mornings that she's not rushing out of the apartment in a flash to go attend to some Supergirl responsibilities.

The pair lived in Lena's penthouse which was conveniently located nearly in the middle of CatCo and L-Corp. When they decided to move in together after a year and a half of dating, the decision was pretty much a no brainer. Kara had given Lena some flack about not wanting to intrude or mooch off of her, but Lena quickly quieted those efforts with assurance of love.

Now, two years later, the couple was still going stronger than ever. Lena was a bit worried about what moving in together would mean for them. She feared that Kara would run once she got to know the real Lena because, no matter how well you think you know a person, living with them can change your perspective.

But, Kara was proving to be the perfect girlfriend. She loved to whip through chores when the place got a bit messy, despite Lena's pleas to let her hire a maid. Kara argued that maids are no better than slaves to which Lena tried to explain that, unlike the slaves that had been on Daxam, human maids are paid for the job they do. She even tried to explain how well she pays them for their efforts. Despite the realization, Kara still didn't like the idea and who was Lena to argue with a Kryptonian on such matters?

Still, Lena was a bit humbled by the rule because it extended to the kitchen as well. Kara was not willing to hire a chef to cook for them every night. Not when Lena was such a talented cook. At first, Lena took offense to the remark, she was not going to be the girlfriend who spent her nights in the kitchen slaving over the stove.

But, in true Kara fashion, she made a date of it each night they cooked. Aside from Kara's futile efforts at preparing her own dishes, the pair worked well together. Lena was in charge of the actual steps throughout the process, but Kara was happy to measure, pour, mix or chop. Whatever she could do to help and not mess up dinner.

Lena actually came to love the nights the two spent in the kitchen together. It didn't happen as often as she would like, the pair having to turn to Chinese, Big Belly Burger or pizza many times due to late night L-Corp duties or Supergirl emergencies, but they always made sure to fit it in at least once a week if not more.

They had a rhythm and they knew one another better than they knew themselves. Kara knew how Lena ticked and had some sort of 6th sense for knowing exactly what Lena needed and when. Since Lena rarely verbalized her feelings, even to Kara, it was an impressive feat. Whether that meant love and affection, attentiveness and a non-judgmental ear, distraction and entertainment or peace and quiet. Kara always knew and Lena did too.

If Kara needed to scream and let out all the frustrations she had been holding in to be a good superhero, Lena let her. If she needed a hug because she just couldn't save everyone that day, Lena was there to hold her. If she just wanted to celebrate a huge win with her girlfriend, Lena was more than happy to let her. They were two sides of a perfect coin.

Kara heard to familiar groan as Lena awakened. Despite looking so put together when she walked out the door each morning, Lena Luthor was most definitely not a morning person. Especially on the weekends.

Kara kissed her neck again, letting her tongue slip out to run over the skin there causing goosebumps. Lena let out a content sigh and rolled her body, never losing contact with Kara. She reached her arms out and tucked them on either side of Kara's body, pulling herself in closer and burying her head in Kara's chest.
