15Due to popular demand, here is the second take on how the elevator scene could've panned out!
Not that long of a drabble, but I figured I'd just make this part 2.
Enjoy!
Lena Luthor was a woman on a mission.
No, not to take over the world.
She had a Supergirl-shaped sunroof on one of her elevators, and all of Kara's belongings - and clothes - discarded on the floor of said elevator.
The mission?
Find out what the hell happened.
James had been of no help, shrugging and claiming that maybe Supergirl finally was ready to give Kara that exclusive.
Oh yes, Lena had thought savagely, an exclusive while naked. Makes perfect sense.
"Maybe Kara and Supergirl are dating?"
She had eventually been left with none other than Eve to help her. Suffice it to say that Lena was feeling an oncoming headache from all the ludicrous suggestions.
"I doubt it," Lena dismissively responded.
"Why?" Eve asked. Then she stage-whispered, "Are you against gay people?"
Lena was sure her eye twitched. "Being bisexual myself, I have no room to be against anything."
Eve nodded demurely. "Right."
"Besides, I don't see my friends as being right for one another."
"Because their personalities don't go well together or because you're crushing on one of them?"
Then again, maybe sometimes Eve was perceptive.
"I-"
Lena's response, or lack thereof, was enough to trigger Eve's barrage of questions.
"Oooh which one? I mean, Supergirl would be great to look at, plus she's Supergirl! But she's off saving the world all the time, so Kara would have that reliable factor. Though her boyfriend left under mysterious circumstances so she's not emotionally available. Did you at least tell your crush how you feel?"
"Eve, relax!" Lena said with a smile. She was a lot livelier than her old assistant, that was for sure. "Right now, I just want to figure out what happened to Kara and why Supergirl practically tore through my elevator to get to her."
It had been easy finding out that it was Kara's stuff left behind. The glasses and he contents of her bag gave her away.
Lena had tried to phone Kara, but her phone was also found in said bag.
What really puzzled her were her clothes left behind. Maybe Eve was right, and they were together.
Nonetheless, she would find out, one way or another.
It was the middle of the night, and Lena felt like a little kid at Christmas, hiding behind the sofa and waiting to see Santa arrive. Except she was a grown adult waiting for either Supergirl or Kara to show up.
She had left Kara's things on the coffee table of James' desk, and pretended to leave early. She was sure James knew the truth and would text either woman to give them the all clear. Though she had to admit she was pleasantly surprised that he didn't take her things himself.
Lena waited in her car until everyone had left, and then she doubled back and was now currently waiting behind the sofa near the wall.
She heard the doors to the balcony open, and snuck a glance. Supergirl.
Supergirl walked in quietly and began collecting Kara's stuff.
"I believe you have some explaining to do," Lena said as she stood up and gripped the back of the sofa seat, feeling very much like a movie villain that had just cornered the hero.
Supergirl's reaction though, was not what she expected.
The superhero let out a small scream before she jumped up and was floating in the air, dropping everything, fists at the ready. Until she saw who it was that had taken her by surprise.
"Lena! Oh Rao you scared me," Supergirl said with a sigh of relief, floating back down.
"What are you doing here?" Lena asked, crossing her arms.
Supergirl spluttered a bit. "Just- ah, just picking up Kara Danvers' stuff."
Lena nodded once, walking around the sofa. "I can see that. But why?"
"She asked me to," was all she said.
"And pray tell, where did Kara go from here, naked, in the middle of the day?"
That got Supergirl's attempts at a lie to stop.
Lena scoffed. "I thought I could trust you."
"You can!" Supergirl quickly responded.
"Then help me make sense of this!" Lena stated. Then her voice caught as she said, "Help me understand how any of this makes sense."
Supergirl's brows furrowed at how Lena sounded. So she reached for Kara's bag.
Lena let out a nearly silent gasp. She first thought Supergirl would leave without saying a word.
But Supergirl only grabbed Kara's glasses. And then she put them on her face and looked at Lena, meeting her gaze.
And then Lena connected the dots, and her jaw promptly dropped.
"I guess I have a lot of explaining to do, huh?" Supergirl - no, Kara - said with a sheepish smile.
Lena nodded, dumbfounded. "You most certainly do."
It was the middle of the night, and Lena had raided Cat's old mini-bar with Kara's help, and they were now sitting on one of the couches, the latter dressed as Kara, sans her glasses. Kara had explained everything, and Lena had listened diligently.
They had cleared the air and now both women felt that they were closer than ever before, content and happy.
And for Lena, this simplified and explained so much. Particularly concerning Eve's comments from earlier regarding her crush. But not now.
Now they were just two slightly drunk best friends - Lena more so than Kara - giggling about the many times that Kara had evaded Lena in order to hide her identity.
I kept the whole 'why did you keep the truth from me' schpiel as a summary because if I had to write it one more time, I'd go stir crazy.
Also, I am fully expecting a Supergirl-sized sunroof to now be promptly featured in the next ep.
Anyway, I hope everyone found this enjoyable! I'll be writing more drabbles as the sg writers keep screwing things up. And of course, full-length fics. Stay tuned!
Don't be shy, and let me know what you thought!
