Supercorp Adventures

I wish that we lived on a VHS, I'd erase the things I said

Title from 'Sims' by Lauv

Part 2 of 'Wish I could get a little undrunk, so I could uncall you at 5 in the morning' as requested, aka the Talk™️. Sorry it took so long, I hope you enjoy it!

Summary: After Kara reveals her alter ego to her girlfriend Lena, the couple fight and they break up. A few months later, the pair reconnect and try to rekindle their relationship.

Also, for more Supercorp content I did the Fictober 2019 challenge so you can go check that out if you want. ;)

All mistakes are mine.

Come say hi to me on Tumblr @luversd

Lena Luthor could distinctively remember Kara Danvers promising to call her soon and she was certain 'soon' didn't equate to three months later and still counting in anyone's book. Admittedly she had said some pretty nasty things to the Super during their fight 13 weeks ago and yes, she had let her Luthor genes shine a little too brightly that night, so she understood the need for space. However, the L-Corp CEO hadn't realised space meant having both Kara Danvers and Supergirl avoiding her and any communication with the reporter / superhero, as well as with her sister Alex Danvers, coming to a standstill. Lena had picked up her phone numerous times and her thumb had hovered the send button too many times for her to count before she deleted the text and put the device away. Kara had to be the one to initiate contact with her, and after all she had done, patience was the least Lena could offer.

On the fifth day of the thirteenth week, a message came through on Lena's phone from the person she had most wanted.

Kara 💛: Can we talk?

Lena would've done a celebratory dance had she not been in her office at that moment.

Lena 💚: Of course. Just send me the time and place, and I'll be there.

Kara 💛: Tonight at 8-ish? At my place.

At least I didn't have to wait another three months to see her, the CEO thought to herself. It was clear the blonde had a more flexible definition of 'soon'.

Lena 💚: Perfect. I'll see you later.

To say Lena was nervous would be an understatement, however mixed with the nerves was a sensation of hopeful excitement. This could be the day their Cold War ended for good. Seeing as it was only 4 pm, the Luthor worked hard for one more hour before she packed her things and headed home. It was an unusual occurrence for her to leave the office so early, but she needed the full three hours to prepare herself for the reunion with her ex-girlfriend. And possibly also, a glass of wine or two.

8 pm at Kara Danvers' apartment

Lena Luthor had been standing in front of the door for a good eight minutes, overthinking how she should knock to let the resident know of her presence. Should she knock twice or three times? Should she do it quickly or would that sound too professional? Could Kara see her through the door? She wondered suddenly.

Lena wasn't naturally an anxious person. Sure, her work life stressed her out sometimes and she was highly suspicious of every human who had ever heard of the Luthors, and even more so of those who claimed never having heard of that name. And yes, in interpersonal relationships she did have the tendency to worry about her every move and her every word. But Lena Luthor, CEO of L-Corp and a scientist at heart, wasn't one to be crippled by anxiety.

Of course, to every rule there's an exception. Right now, Lena was overcome with inexplicable psychological distress. This was the first time she had spent - now, ten minutes - of her life contemplating how to knock on a door. The thought of having been seen during the ordeal embarrassed her even more, and just when she turned on her heels to go home, the door opened before her.
