Not So Secret

"Meet me on the roof."

She was at CatCo for the third time that week. There was a crisis going on that James clearly couldn't handle on his own and while Lena may not be well versed in the world of social media, putting out fires was sort of her specialty.

She didn't always enjoying coming to the building, admittedly the best part was seeing her best friend (and woman she was madly in love with which broke so many rules). The pair would often grab lunch or at the very least have a chat whenever she was forced to visit the media empire, but they were usually far less risky.

So, when Lena felt Kara's voice low and breathy in her ear telling her to go to the roof, she felt too many things at once and didn't quite process anything before Kara was out of sight.

Finally gathering her thoughts, and pushing the sudden heat from the implication of being very alone with Kara out of her brain, Lena stood and straightened the pin straight skirt and headed for the not-so-private elevator.

When the elevator car dinged indicating her arrival on the roof, Lena was a bit surprised to see Kara sitting on the edge of the helicopter pad alone. Her legs were in front of her, hanging off the side of the building. Her arms were spead behind her, supporting her weight as she leaned back. Her head fell back just slightly as she seemed to be watching the clouds above. There was an easy smile playing on her face, as if she was basking in the warm sun on a beach somewhere. But instead, she was sitting on a helicopter pad on the roof of Lena's building in the middle of National City.

Lena stepped out of the elevator, heels clicking on the concrete as she approached her friend. Kara didn't move, she didn't take her gaze off of the clouds above. Lena almost thought she didn't notice her presence until she was speaking to her, "That one looks like a rabbit, don't you think?"

Lena followed Kara's finger which was pointing slightly to the right. Sure enough there was a large puffy cloud, almost in the shape of a rabbit. "Sure, if you like rabbits with only one ear." Lena commented, a small smile pulling at her lips from Kara's resulting giggle.

"Someone has to love them." she commented with a shrug, eyes still trained up.

Lena felt her heart warm. It was a simple comment about a cloud, but it showcased everything she loved about the woman in front of her perfectly.

"Not that I don't love cloud gazing with you," Lena began, bringing her arms to cross her chest for a bit of warmth. Being this high up was beautiful, but the wind was unforgiving. "But why the roof?" Lena raised a brow when Kara's eyes finally dropped from the sky and landed on her fingers which began fiddling with a string on her pants. "In the middle of the work day?"

Kara didn't say anything at first. She just stared ahead.

Lena wasn't used to this kind of quiet from the older girl. Kara was always talking about something. Sometimes it was a high. Snapper finally approved an article she had been pushing for weeks. Or the Chinese restaurant threw in an extra potsticker for their favorite customer. Sometimes it was a low. She got a rude comment on one of her articles. Or she and Alex got into a fight. Sometimes it was completely random. She saw a picture of grumpy cat online and it reminded her of Lena's face when she has to come put out a fire at CatCo.

No matter what it was, Kara was always talking.

So naturally, she took the silence as a red flag. Lena took a few more steps forward, finally ascending the stairs that lead to the the helicopter pad. She was hoping to have the conversation from a few feet down as if it would change the temperature. But she was sensing this wouldn't be that easy.
