28. Testing*

Monday morning had Kara waking up with Maggie nuzzling into her neck in sleep.  It tickled. She pulled the detective closer and adjusted her shirt to cover her skin.  She just loved the way Maggie burrowed into her. It was too cute! It was way too early to get up, so Kara just snuggled and listened to her partners breathing.  Alex had insisted that it was her turn to sleep with Lena, so the two of them were cuddled up in the bed, while Kara and Maggie were on the air mattress.

She could hear the twins shuffling around in their room.  She peeked in at them with her X-ray vision and saw they were eating cereal and playing chess.  Eliza would be pissed if she knew they were eating in their room, but Kara let them be. It warmed her heart to know the kids had taken to the game of chess so well.  It made Lena feel special, and that really mattered to Kara. The CEO deserved to be loved and made to feel as special as could be, especially after the hell she’d been through with her family.  The twins didn’t know the full extent of it, but they treated Lena like a goddess anyway, and that made it all the better.

After about a half an hour, Kara could hear Lena’s heartbeat quickening, so she dragged herself away from Maggie’s warm embrace and snuck downstairs to make coffee.  When she was finished, she headed back upstairs to find Lena trying to extract herself from Alex’s vice grip. She chuckled and gave her a hand. They kissed good morning, and headed downstairs, fingers laced together, and soft, loving smiles on their faces.  The Kryptonian really loved that her new girlfriend was an early riser. It gave them some good quality time together first thing in the mornings. They poured themselves some coffee, and soon found themselves lost in the taste of each other. Rao, why did Lena taste so good?

Eventually, the rest of the family woke up, and this particular morning had the Danvers gang feeling especially lazy.  They all ate fruit and cereal for breakfast, and then watched TV, while they snuggled on the couch. Everything was going just fine, until Jessie suddenly remembered something.  

“Hey!  When are we gonna go do our tests to find out why we don’t have powers?”

Kara and Alex looked at each other, then looked questioningly at Eliza.

“Well,” she mused, “I suppose there’s no reason we can’t go do it whenever you want.”

Of course, Jessie’s answer couldn’t be anything other than, “I want to go right now!”

“Well, Grandma still needs to take a shower,” she told them.

“Aww, please hurry, I’m dying to know!”

“OK, but Lena and Maggie are taking their turns, so both the showers are occupied right this second.  You’re going to have to wait just a little longer.”

Jessie whined.

“Don’t start misbehaving, or we won’t go at all,” she threatened.

The little blonde crossed her arms over her chest and pouted, but refrained from making any more noise.

They watched TV until Eliza was done with her shower and ready to go, then the kids were scrambling to get their things and ran out the door and into the van ahead of everyone.  

“Here we go,” Eliza commented with a shake of her head.  “They’re gonna be like this all day, I can see it.”

The rest of the adults chuckled.  They gathered their belongings and headed out to the van together.  None of them wanted to miss this. There was no shortage of curiosity amongst the group of them.  They all wanted to know what half-kryptonian, half-human blood looked like. It must look mostly human, they assumed, or it would have set off some red flags somewhere along the lines in their lifetimes, especially as newborns, when they did the most extensive testing.  

When they got to the lab where Dr. Danvers worked, they all had to show ID’s, sign in, and go through security before they were allowed to go inside.  The guard raised his eyebrows at Lena, and tried to prevent her from entering.

“Dr. Danvers, don’t you know who this is?” he exclaimed.

Eliza stood tall and answered brusquely.  “I know exactly who this is, thank you very much, and if you think for one second that I’m going to let you embarrass her, you’ve got another thing coming!  She’s not on the restricted list, so mind your own business!”

The guard stared at Lena for a few more seconds before stepping back.  

Lena, for her part, never cowered or lowered her chin.  Kara was quite proud of her for that.

The group followed Eliza through a seemingly endless labyrinth of hallways, until they got to the office door marked ‘Dr. Eliza Danvers.’  They all entered and closed the door behind them. They were packed in a little close, but they didn’t mind much.

As soon as they were all in, Jessie took her coat off and sat down in the chair.  “I’m ready!” she declared.

“Jamie, are you doing this too?” Eliza asked.

The girl looked a little queasy, but she nodded in the affirmative.

Dr. Danvers hung up her coat, washed her hands, put on her gloves and went through the process of drawing blood from each of the twins.  Jessie watched with fascination, and without crying out. Jamie, however, kept her eyes firmly shut, and a tear or two escaped before Eliza was finished.  “I’m quite proud of both of you,” she told them. “You were very brave.” She bandaged them up with cute neon bandaids and placed the blood in the analyzer that she helped design especially for her research.  It would identify any and every anomaly in the blood, and they could see close-ups of the blood cells on the computer monitor. “You’ll have to give it a while to fully analyze everything,” she said.

“How long is a while?” Jamie asked skeptically.

“An hour?”

The kids groaned.

“Each…”

Jessie looked like she wanted to pull her hair out.

“Shall we go on a tour, while we’re waiting?” she asked.

“Sure,” the twins agreed reluctantly.

They walked around the building, looking for people Dr. Danvers knew.  The first to wave at her was an elderly Japanese man. “Hello, Dr. Danvers,” he greeted her with a bow.  “Who do we have here?”

“Hello, Dr. Nakayama,” Eliza greeted him with a return bow.  “These are my daughters Alex and Kara, and their partners Maggie and Lena, and these beautiful girls are my granddaughters Jamie and Jessie.”

Dr. Nakayama bowed to them all before his brow lifted.  “You know Lena Luthor?”

“Yes,” Dr. Danvers answered proudly.  “And quite fortunately at that. She’s a brilliant scientist, did you know?  We’re going to be working on a special cancer treatment project together. It’s going to be quite phenomenal.”

Lena smiled charmingly, in the hopes that it would put the man at ease.  It seemed to work.

“Sounds wonderful,” Dr. Nakayama answered.  “Good luck in your endeavors!”

“Thank you very much,” Eliza said.  “Only better keep quiet. I don’t want people to get the wrong idea about her.  She’s quite close to us, and I don’t want any problems.”

“Indeed,” the man agreed with a smile.

The next half-hour was spent walking around the laboratory, and every conversation they had went roughly the same.  They walked through all the rooms with break-through technology equipment, and Lena and Alex geeked out together like kids in a candy store.  It probably one of the strongest bonding moments Kara had seen between the pair, and she was eternally thankful to Rao for the opportunity to witness it.  Occasionally Dr. Danvers would introduce them to someone as her daughters and their partners, and her ‘two beautiful granddaughters’ who’d wanted to come see where she worked.  They’d stay and chat for a minute, and then they’d be off to the next person.

According to Eliza, most of the staff was still home for the holiday, so it wasn’t as long as they’d hoped before they were back in her lab waiting some more.  Everyone played on their phones, or in Lena’s case, checked emails, while they waited. Eventually Kara got them to play Yahtzee on her phone with her until the machine quieted down from it’s analysis of Jessie’s blood, and a screen popped up on the monitor declaring everything it had found.  Dr. Danvers and Alex studied a few of the readings, then printed them off. There was a lot to look at, and they wanted to be able to look more closely.

Lena studied the print-offs, fascinated.  “Yes, I can already see some anomalies,” she confirmed.  “Can we draw Alex’s blood too, so we have some base of comparison?  I don’t suppose you have some of Kara’s blood stored away somewhere from when she lost her powers?”

“Yes, actually, I was going to ask the same questions,” Dr. Danvers informed them.

Alex nodded succinctly, “Yep, as a matter of fact, I made her sit down and give me blood both times she lost her powers.  You think I was gonna miss that opportunity?”

Kara rolled her eyes, while Maggie and Lena chuckled.

“Excellent!” said Eliza, prepping her daughter for a blood draw.  

The agent was completely unbothered by needles, and watched, almost bored, as the needle broke the skin.  “Guard that with your life!” she demanded of Lena as Kara handed her her copy of the paperwork, photos included.

“I will, I promise,” the CEO swore solemnly, clutching the binder to her chest.

“So what does it say?!” Jessie exploded.  Her patience was at its end.

“We don’t know yet!  We have to study all the information we just got!” Alex huffed at her.

The preteen growled at the top of her lungs, and hollered, “Arg, more waiting!!”

“That’s enough!” Eliza chastised her.  “If you’re going to act like that, we can go home and forget about all of this!”

“Everything OK in here?” one of Dr. Danvers’ colleagues poked his head in the door to check on them.

“I’m so sorry, Dr. Nadjafi,” Eliza apologized.  “We’re dealing with preteen melodrama here.”

Jessie huffed and crossed her arms over her chest at the insult.

“Ah,” he chuckled.  “I’ve got one of those myself.  My youngest just turned eleven. I also have a fourteen-year-old, and a seventeen-year-old.”  He looked back and forth between the girls, “Twins?”

“Yes, it’s going to be interesting, that’s for sure,” Eliza commented dryly.  “These are my granddaughters Jessie and Jamie. I’m sorry you have to meet them on such a bad note.”

“Hi, girls,” he waved at them.  Only Jamie waved back. “Good luck.”  He gave a lazy salute to the eldest Danvers and went back to work.

“I hope you're happy with yourself,” Eliza told Jessie.  “You’re grounded from your phone for the rest of the day.”  She held her hand out for the device.

“No!” Jessie whined loudly.

“You want to make it two days?” she threatened.

“All my crops are gonna die!”

“Plant real crops.  They last longer,” Eliza replied.

The youngest Danvers relinquished her phone to her grandmother with tears streaming down her face.  “I just wanna know what’s wrong with me that makes me not have powers!”

“The only thing wrong with you is your attitude right now, young lady!  Now I highly suggest that you get it together, or you’ll be hard pressed to get any of us to give you any kind of information about any of this.  You’ll just have to go through medical school like the rest of us did, and do the tests yourself.”

The young twin just cried, but wisely kept her mouth shut this time.

“If you can pull yourself together, we can go out to lunch and maybe go shopping while we’re waiting for the next two samples to go through.  If not, we can go home and forget this ever happened. I could get into trouble for this, you know.”

Jessie did her best to stop crying, though her eyes and face were still all red as they walked back through the maze of hallways.  They went to Eliza’s favorite deli, where they knew her by name, and they were all excited to meet her family. The elderly Italian owner stayed and chatted with them for a while, and seemed not to know who Lena was at all, so no one bothered her.

When they were done eating, Alex turned to Kara.  “You feel like going to get your blood sample and bringing it back?  It’ll go quicker, if we do them all together instead of waiting until we pick the kids back up next weekend.”

“Sounds good,” Kara replied.  “Call J’onn, so he doesn’t have a heart attack when I get there.  And so he’ll let me into your office.”

“It’s not in my office, silly.  It’s in the lab, under lock and key.”  She handed her wife her keys, then made the phone call to J’onn, while Kara flew off to the DEO.  She was there and back before the family was even done looking through the first shop on the strip.  It was a cute little bead boutique, and the kids were going nuts looking through everything and wanting it all.  “You guys, calm down,” Alex told them.

They didn’t.

“Now would be a really great time for those bikes,” Kara sighed.

“No kidding,” Eliza agreed.  “You know, it just occurred to me that I should probably run Lena’s blood through the machine too, just so I have something to show for our supposed research together, and for using the machine.  Would you mind?” she asked the CEO.

“No, I don’t mind,” Lena answered.  “I think that would be pretty neat, actually.  I’d love to see my own personal molecular breakdown.  I really don’t know anything about my blood family’s medical history.”

“Nerd,” Maggie teased.

“Hush, you!” Lena shoved the detective’s shoulder playfully.

“Girls, let’s go,” Dr. Danvers called to the twins.

They both whined.

“We need to go back to the lab and put Mama and Lena’s blood into the analyzer,” she whispered to them.

They pouted, and Jessie whined again, saying, “That’s like five hours!”

“We don’t have to wait there for them all.  We already have your sample, and by the time we get back, we’ll have your sister’s too.  We can get the others tomorrow.”

The twins looked greatly relieved.  “OK,” they agreed to leave the store.

They all climbed back into the minivan (that sure was earning its keep on this trip) and headed back to Eliza’s research facility.  This time, only Eliza, Alex and Lena went inside. They printed off Jamie’s analysis, put Lena’s blood into the machine, put all the paperwork in binders, and headed back out.  No one questioned them. No one stopped them. A few people waved amicably as they walked by. Alex breathed a sigh of relief when they got back in the car.

“What’s wrong, dear?” her mother asked her.

Alex shook her head.  “I don’t know, I guess I’m just paranoid.  I thought surely someone would stop and ask us what we were doing, and why, and I was prepared to put up a fight.  Just habit, I suppose.”

“I’m relieved as well,” Lena told them.  “I was prepared for your coworkers to be adverse toward me.  I’m quite surprised no one was, really. Only the security guard batted an eyelash.”

“I guess they trust me,” Eliza mused.  “I have worked there for over twenty years, now.”

“Wow!” Maggie whistled.  “Now that’s impressive!”

“Why thank you,” Dr. Danvers preened playfully.  “Either that, or people are too afraid of Lena to say anything.  Either way, we got to do whatever we wanted, so I’m not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.”

“What the heck does that mean?” Jamie demanded.

Alex pulled her nose out of her binder long enough to say, “It’s called Google.  Use it.”

They headed back to the house, and the twins talked Maggie into playing chess with them while the rest of the adults pored over their copies of the blood analysis.  There was so much information, Lena kept repeating over and over again how she couldn’t believe the machine only took an hour per sample.

Naturally, Kara finished first, since she could speed read through it all, but she took the time to read through them a couple more times before she started sharing her revelations with the group.  In fact, she wasn’t quite sure she even wanted to share with the group. Maybe she would just wait until the others were done reading, and Alex could tell them. Although, Alex might not want to tell them either.

“What’s that look?” the agent caught her out.

“Uhh…” Kara looked around at the group and laughed nervously.  “Nothing!” she lied, fiddling with her glasses. “Nothing at all.”

Alex raised her brow, not believing her wife for one second.

“You’re lying,” Jamie accused.  “You’re a bad liar.”

“I am not!”

“Lying?  Or bad at it?” Maggie joked.

“Either!” Kara defended.

The detective snickered.

“Shut up, Maggie!”

“Sure, take it out on me.  You’re just mad because you’re a bad liar.”

Kara groaned.

Alex laughed.

Lena and Eliza looked on, amused.

The twins just rolled their eyes.

“Come on, Kara,” Eliza chided.  “Out with it.”

The Kryptonian sighed.  “OK,” she blew out a quick breath.  “It just- It looks like my blood when I’ve blown out my powers.  I really don’t know if that means anything, though. It could mean they might have powers someday, but it might just look like that because they’re part human.  There’s really no way of knowing for sure. I don’t think.”

“Great,” Jessie fussed.  “So all of that waiting, and we still don’t know anything!”

“On the contrary,” Lena spoke up, “We found a great many things.  Just not what you, specifically, were looking for.”

“Whatever.”  It was the first time either of the twins had spoken in such a way to the CEO, and the woman tried to hide her hurt, but it didn’t really work.

“Keep talking to Lena like that,” Maggie warned.  “Then see how long she wants to stay your friend.”

Jessie’s eyes filled with tears.  “Sorry, Lena,” she said quietly. Without saying another word, she got up and ran upstairs to her room, throwing herself down on her bed and sobbing her eyes out.

When Kara looked back down, she saw tears in Jamie’s eyes too.  “What, baby?”

Jamie shrugged.  “I guess I was just really looking forward to figuring something out too, and it’s really disappointing to find out nothing.  I wouldn’t mind having powers, myself. I’m with Jessie - I would feel safer with them.”

“Oh, Rao, help me!” the Kryptonian exclaimed, holding her head in her hands.  “Come here,” she demanded. Jamie got up off of the floor and sat next to her Mama, and Kara wrapped her arms around her.  “You do not need powers to be safe. Your mom and I will protect you with every breath that we have.  I promise you.”

“But you can’t always be around.  What if something happens?” Jamie worried.

“Baby, everything is going to be OK.  I promise!”

“You can’t promise that!  No one can!”

Kara’s heart hurt.  She didn’t know what to do to convince her daughters that they didn’t need powers to stay safe.  “Honey, you can’t go around living in fear all the time. You girls have had a good life so far, and there’s no reason for us to expect that to change anytime soon.”

“But Cadmus is out there, and they might-”

“You let us worry about Cadmus.  Besides, Lena shut them down, remember?  It’s not just Grandma and Mom and me working to protect you.  Maggie and Lena are here now too. Plus we have the rest of our found family, right?  There are so many people looking out for you. Honestly, I don’t know what you’re worried about.  I know there are some scary things in this world, but you’re a lot more likely to get hurt by the paper you draw on than hurt by Cadmus, so you might as well try to relax.  You’re not going to make anything better by worrying yourself to death. Please. Focus on the good things in your life. There are so many of them. Be thankful instead of worrying.  Otherwise, your life is gonna be a misery of your own making.”

The elder twin looked away sadly.  “OK, Mama, I’ll try.”

Kara kissed her daughter on the head.  “I love you, baby. You’re a good girl.”

Jamie cuddled into Kara and stayed there for a while.

After about ten minutes, Alex went upstairs to check on Jessie.  “Hi, baby,” she greeted her.

The younger twin, who was laying face down on her bed, angrily plopped her pillow over her head.  “Go away!”

“Don’t be like that,” Alex rebuffed her gently.  “I’m your mom, and I love you, I can’t help it. Come on.”  She sat down on the edge of the bed and rubbed her daughter’s back.

“You don’t want me to have powers,” Jessie accused petulantly.

“Baby, it doesn’t matter what I want or don’t want.  What matters is what is.  And the fact of the matter is, you don’t have powers.  For whatever reason you want to imagine, you don’t. But is that really the end of the world?  I don’t have powers. Grandma doesn’t either, and neither do Maggie or Lena. That didn’t stop them from becoming extremely successful women, who also happen to hold a lot of power in their own way.  Do you know that Maggie is part of an organization at her work that helps other people of the LGBTQ community in the police force stay safe and respected among the other officers? She helps so many people, just by going around and talking to others.  Nothing else. No guns, no fighting, not even much arguing, most of the time. You want to be like her so much, but you’re missing some really key parts of her. The parts of Maggie that are the best are the parts where she’s brave without fighting, and she wins battles with her mind and her heart and her words.  Do you think I fell in love with her just because she’s a fighter? No way. There are plenty of fighters in this world, but most of them just fight for themselves. Occasionally, the ones with better hearts will also fight for their family and friends. It takes a whole new level of character to be a fighter that fights for strangers and who knows when to fight and when to negotiate.  There are plenty of quote-unquote ‘bad guys’ in this world. And most of them are plain old human. Let’s learn to fight injustice the plain old human way. There’s still plenty of good to be done that way. As smart as you are, you could be a cop, or a lawyer, or a doctor, or a physicist. It doesn’t really matter to me what you do, as long as you remember that the point of life isn’t to be the strongest or the most powerful.  At least, not to people like us. We want to be the best by helping the most people that we can help ourselves, and everyone’s way of doing that is different. Powers or no powers, we all have a part to play. We are most successful when we just do our best at being ourselves. If we sit around wishing our lives were different, we miss out on all the good things that we actually have. And we have so, so many good things. Let’s try to focus on those things, and be thankful, shall we?”

Jessie sat up and snuggled into her mom’s arms.  “What if I become an Alpha, and I still don’t have any powers?  Then I’m just a freak.”

“I really wish you wouldn’t use that word.  It’s very demeaning, not just to you, but to anyone who might be like you.  Like, your Mama, for example?  Is she a freak?”

“No.  She’s an alien.”

“But she’s different.”

“That doesn’t make her a freak.”

“OK, so if she’s not a freak, then why would you be one?”

“Like I just said!  I wouldn’t have any powers.  Just a body part that I never wanted!”

“Honey, there are people in this world who deal with worse things than that on a regular basis.  And actually, there are plenty of women in this world who were born with those parts that don’t want them.  You wouldn’t be alone in that. They do all kinds of things to adjust. Maybe we can get some books from the library for you to read and see what I mean.  I don’t think I could do them justice by trying to explain it myself.”

“You mean, like gay guys?” Jessie wondered.

“Some of them are gay, yeah, but not all of them.  And there are some men who feel more like women, as well.  I know it’s confusing, but it’s confusing for them too. We live in a world with pretty rigid gender expectations, and it’s hard to break out of that, but some people do, and they’re better off for it.  They might have to overcome some hardships, but they become better people for the experience.”

“Can we go to the library right now?” the girl asked.

“Sure, why not?  I bet Maggie knows a book or two that she could recommend.  She’s the brainy type, whether she likes to admit it or not.”

“OK.”

“OK.”

They came downstairs and told the group about their conversation and plans to go to the library.  (They couldn't all eavesdrop like Kara could.) Everyone agreed that it was a great idea, so Eliza, Alex, Maggie, Jessie and Jamie all went to the library, leaving Kara and Lena at home to start dinner preparation.  Lena, however, had other ideas. As soon as the rest of the group was gone, she straddled the blonde’s lap and started kissing her deeply.

Kara was a little startled, but she got over it quickly.  She stroked Lena’s thighs through her pants as they made out, wishing she could touch bare skin.  The brunette had her panting in no time, and if she thought she was startled before, it was nothing compared to when the brunette ground her hips down into hers.  “Oh, great Rao, Lena, don’t do that, if you don’t want to get fucked!”

Lena whimpered softly, “Are we allowed?”

“What do you mean?”  The Kryptonian’s brow crinkled in confusion.

“I mean, are we allowed to have sex, just the two of us?  Or does it have to be all of us all at once?”

“I…” Kara’s eyes widened.  “Are you saying you want to have sex right now?”

The CEO nodded.  “Yes, as long as it’s OK with Alex and Maggie.”

Kara couldn’t take her phone out fast enough.

Kara:  Lena wants to have sex!

It felt like forever before Alex answered, but really, it was only a couple of seconds.

Alex:  Sweet!  Fuck her brains out!  Why are you texting me?

Kara:  I wanted to make sure it was OK with you first.

Two more seconds of waiting.

Alex:  She’s your girlfriend, isn’t she?

Kara:  I didn’t know if you wanted our first time to be all together, or what.

Alex:  It’s fine.  Stop texting me, and get to it already!  We don’t have all day!

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

She put her phone away, and picked Lena up.  The brunette wrapped her legs around Kara’s hips and her arms around Kara's neck and allowed herself to be carried up the stairs as she kissed up and down the Kryptonian’s neck and ears.  It gave the Kara crazy goosebumps, and she could already feel herself getting hard from the attention. She laid Lena down on the bed and crawled over her, kissing her hungrily, and letting her feel the effects of her ministrations against her thigh.  Lena opened her legs and let Kara settle between them. She grinded her hips down, enjoying the little mewling sounds her partner was making at the friction.

“Yes, Kara, keep going,” Lena encouraged.  She unbuttoned Kara’s shirt while they kissed and grinded against one another.  “Ah, yeah,” she sighed, when the Kryptonian hit a particularly sweet spot.

Kara freed herself from her top and threw it on the floor.  “Your turn.” She unbuttoned Lena’s blouse and helped her take it off, throwing it on the floor with the other one.  “Great Rao, you’re so beautiful! I can’t believe how flawless your skin is!”

The CEO grinned at her.  “Says the goddess.”

“You’re the goddess,” Kara argued.  She began her long trek of kissing Lena everywhere she could possibly reach - down her neck and arms, her hands, her belly, and then finally up to her breasts.  God! Every inch of her tasted so good! She wondered if this woman was burning from the inside, as she was. She eased the straps of Lena’s bra down, so she could liberate the first breast from it’s restraints.  The CEO sighed in pleasure at the first touch of Kara’s mouth on her nipple. She experimented with different pressure and suction, until she had Lena crying out.

“Ohmygod, Kara, please don’t tease me so much!” the CEO begged.  

The Kryptonian switched breasts and gave the second one a bit of attention before kissing and licking her way down Lena’s chest and stomach.  Once she hit the waistband of Lena’s trousers, she immediately unfastened them and pulled them off. If Lena was tired of teasing, she’d get a little closer.  The smell of Lena’s sex made Kara almost painfully hard, and she had to adjust herself inside her pants before she could continue.

“Good Lord!” Lena exclaimed.

“What?” Kara asked worriedly.

“I did not expect you to be so big!” the CEO told her.

“Oh,” she frowned.  “Is that going to be a problem?  Maggie was a little intimidated at first too, but-”

“It’s fine, Kara,” Lena assured her.  “Don’t worry. Everything is fine. It’s good, even.  Keep going, please.”

“OK,” she lifted her hand and palmed Lena’s sex through her underwear.  

The brunette sighed in pleasure and raised her hips to meet each stroke.  “Ah, yes, Kara, keep going!” She stroked her a dozen times before letting her hand dip inside.  “Yes!”

Kara was trembling with excitement.  She was finally touching Lena! She stroked the length of Lena’s pussy, dipping the tips of her fingers inside to find moisture.  When she found it, she dragged it back up to her clit and circled slowly but firmly. “You are so perfect, Lena.” She lowered herself down to be able to kiss her partner while she stroked her.  After a minute or so, Kara felt Lena’s hands start to wander. She removed the Kryptonian’s bra and then started immediately in on her pants. As soon as the jeans were unbuttoned, Lena’s hand was inside, stroking the length of her cock over her underwear.  Kara cried out at the touch. “Oh, Rao, Lena, yes!” She bucked her hips a little, matching the rhythm of her own hand with Lena’s

When Kara pulled away to catch her breath, Lena’s voice trembled a little, “You should probably let me come at least once before you try to put this thing inside me.”

Kara chuckled.  “That I can do.”  She unhooked Lena’s bra and tossed it into the growing pile of clothes on the floor, then dragged her underwear slowly down, lowering her lips to Lena’s knee, then kissing her way up to her sex.  When she finally placed her tongue on the CEO’s clit, she moaned in pleasure. Kara had never heard more beautiful sounds than her lovers’ voices during sex, and this was no different. Each little moan sent a thrill of electricity through the reporter, and she just couldn’t get enough.  She circled Lena’s clit with her tongue, starting off slowly and working up to going faster. She may not have all day, but she was still going to try to take her time a little. She wrapped her arms around the CEO’s thighs and settled in. She didn’t know how long it would take for Lena to come, but she wanted to give her plenty of time.

“Ohmygod, Kara, you are really good at that,” Lena panted.  “Keep going, please!”

Kara had no intention of stopping.  Not until Lena begged her to. She kissed and licked and suckled until Lena was a whimpering, trembling mess, and she knew when Lena was coming by the violent way she was pulling her hair and writhing uncontrollably underneath her.

“Ohmygod, Kara, yes. Ohmygod, yes!  Yes! Yes! Yes! YES!” she screamed while she came, and Kara couldn’t remember the last time she heard anything so beautiful as Lena coming undone.  “OK. OK. OK! Kara, stop!” she pushed the Kryptonian’s head away and lay back while she tried to catch her breath. “Ohmygod,” she panted. “That felt so amazing.”  She pulled Kara up to kiss her.

“I love you so much, Lena,” Kara kissed her hungrily.  She palmed Lena’s sex gently, trying to both soothe her and work her up again.  If Lena was anything like Alex in this regard, it was a delicate balance, and she had to be careful not to overstimulate her.  When the CEO started rocking against her hand, she knew she’d achieved her goal, and she kissed her way back down Lena’s body to her pussy.  She dragged her tongue around lazily at first, allowing Lena’s desire to grow. Eventually, when she deemed the CEO wet enough, Kara eased two fingers inside her and latched onto her clitoris with her mouth.  Lena writhed pleasantly beneath her, moaning and sighing and chanting encouragements. They stayed at that pace for a while before the reporter eased one more finger inside her lover.

“Oh, fuck!” Lena cried out.  It only spurred Kara on, and she quickened the movements inside her, occasionally scissoring her fingers to stretch Lena out a bit.  She wanted this experience to be as pleasurable as possible for both of them. She stroked Lena's silky soft insides and wished to Rao that she didn’t have to wear a condom for this.  At any rate, she was going to thoroughly enjoy it when she could get her dick in there.

Lena took a little while longer to come this time, but when she did, it was stronger than the first, and Kara imagined that her girlfriend’s hair pulling might be quite painful to anyone who wasn’t a Kryptonian.  The screaming, though, was positively divine, and Kara wanted more of it. In fact, she didn’t think her dick could get any harder. “Do you want another one? Do you want more of this?”

Lena shook her head.  Instead, she pushed Kara onto her back and tugged her pants and underwear off.  “Wow,” she said, staring at the Kryptonian member.

“Wait!” Kara exclaimed leaping off the bed and grabbing a box of condoms out of her purse.  “Can’t forget these!” She hastily ripped open the package and pulled one out.

“Can I touch it, first?” Lena asked softly.

Kara pressed her lips together.  “Sure.”

The brunette reached out her hand and brushed against Kara’s cock timidly at first, and then grew bolder with each second.  Kara hissed in pleasure at her touch. “It just feels normal,” Lena observed. “I was expecting something a little more alien, I guess.”

The reporter chuckled.  “Sorry to disappoint.”

“Never,” the CEO countered.  She took the condom from Kara’s hand, opened it and rolled it on, then straddled the her.  “Is this position OK for you? I’ll need to take it slowly, at first. It’s been a while, and I’ve never had anyone so big.”

“Honestly, I don’t care what position you want to make love in, as long as we’re doing it.”

Lena giggled.  “Are you ready for this?”

“Great Rao, I’m so ready!”

“OK, here we go!” Lena kissed Kara, and while their lips were locked, she started to sink down on Kara’s cock.  “Fuck!” she sighed. “Ohmygod!”

“Good girl,” Kara encouraged.  “Who’s my good girl?” She stroked Lena’s back, letting her take her time getting adjusted.  This was such a long time in coming, she felt like she was going to combust from happiness, although, her dick had other ideas.  Her instincts were telling her to pound the ever-loving daylights out of the woman, but she couldn’t even grind upwards yet. She continued to encourage the CEO’s movements, hoping that they could get to fucking soon.

Lena eased Kara as deeply as she could take her before she started slowly grinding down on her.  “Ohmygod, Kara. You’re such a beast.”

Kara chuckled.  “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!  We’re barely getting started.”  She grabbed hold of Lena’s thighs and adjusted her angle a bit before beginning to rock her hips.  

The brunette sighed heavily with every thrust inside of her, “Keep going, Kara.  Don’t stop.” She let her head fall against the Kryptonian’s, as they panted and moaned and rocked together.

Before long, Kara was gone.  Lena was gone. All that was left of them was a beautiful amalgamation of them both, moving together, breathing together.  They lost themselves in one another like Kara couldn’t have imagined. She couldn’t believe she’d lived so long without being inside this woman in her arms.  It was positively unthinkable anymore. She was feeling a completion in her heart that she didn’t know could exist. With all these feelings coursing through her, she felt a little stupid that all she could say was, “Good girl,” over and over, but it just seemed right, and Lena seemed to love it, so she couldn’t stop.

“God, I love you so much, Kara!” the CEO moaned.

“I love you too, baby girl!”  She wrapped her arms all the way around Lena and pulled her impossibly closer.  “Are you doing OK?”

“Yes!” she whimpered.  “So good!” She wrapped her arms round Kara’s neck for leverage.  “Keep going!”

“Oh, Lena!  It feels so good to be inside you!  You’re so beautiful! So perfect!” Suddenly the CEO was pulling her hair again.  “Come for me, Lena!” The harder Lena pulled her hair, the closer Kara got to orgasm herself.  “Come for me, sweet girl.” When Lena clenched around her, she cried out, and they both tumbled over the edge together, screaming each other's names, and clutching one another for dear life.  Kara held a boneless Lena in her arms, as the brunette caught her breath again. “Good girl,” she kept saying. “Who’s my good girl?”

After a few moments, Lena noticed something.  “You’re still hard.”

Kara nodded.  “Yeah, I have to come at least three times to fully finish usually.”

Lena bit her lip and grinned.  “Seriously?”

“Yep.  Is that OK?”

“Very.”

“I need to change my condom, though, before we keep going.”

“OK.”  The CEO dazedly crawled off of her and flopped down on the pillows, while Kara carefully removed her condom and changed into a new one.  “Purple, huh?”

Kara chuckled.  “What can I say, I’m into colors.”  She crawled back in between Lena’s legs and eased herself back inside.  “You good?”

“Quite,” Lena grinned.

Kara beamed in answer, and started moving her hips again.

“God, yes!”  

The Kryptonian was a little more selfish this time, letting herself build up to her next orgasm much more quickly than the last.  As Alex said, they didn’t have all day. She didn’t talk as much this time, but she kept up the rhythm of her hips, and soon had Lena trembling and screaming again.

“KARA!”  Lena writhed beneath her in the most glorious way, which soon had Kara gasping and shuddering in her second release.

“Rao, Lena!” she whimpered.  “Great Rao, I love you so much!”

“I love you too, Kara, don’t stop!”

“I have to change my condom, baby, I’m sorry.  I’ll be quick.”

Lena whimpered.

She couldn’t use her superspeed without breaking the condoms, but she was as quick as she could be still, and before she knew it, they were rejoined at the hip, panting and praising one another.  It had been a long time since Kara had lost herself so completely in anything, and she found herself back in that haze of pleasure where there was only her and Lena. Nothing else existed but them.  She thrust herself in and out as hard as Lena would let her, enjoying the screaming in her ear, as they worked themselves up. They lost track of how long they kept at it, but soon enough, Kara could feel Lena start pulling her hair again, and she knew she needed to try to wrap it up.  With such an easy tell from the brunette about when she was going to come, Kara could try to time it so they came together again. It was one of her favorite things to try to do with Alex (and now Maggie too). There was just something so sublime about tumbling over the edge at the same time that she couldn’t resist, especially now.  “Are you ready, baby?” she husked in Lena’s ear. “Are you ready to come with me?”

The brunette’s response we completely incoherent, so Kara took that as a yes.  She moved inside her until she felt that familiar flutter and clutching around her cock, and then she let herself go as well.  Lena got really quiet for a moment, but the hair pulling was at its strongest, and then they came together in a shrieking, trembling mess.  Kara didn’t stop right away. She kept pumping in and out, dragging their orgasms out for as long as she could.

When she finally stopped, she realized that Lena was crying.  “Oh Rao, Lena, what’s wrong?!” she panicked, pulling out slowly.  “Did I hurt you? I was trying to make sure I didn’t knot you. I-”

The CEO shook her head no.  “I love you, Kara,” she sobbed.

“I love you too, sweetheart,” she answered, stroking her face.  “Please, tell me what’s wrong!”

“Nothing’s wrong.  I don’t know. I just…”  She shrugged and looked away.  “Now, I feel stupid.”

“Hey,” Kara said, holding her cheeks, “You’re not stupid.  If you’re feeling something, you have a right to feel it, no matter what it is.  Please, talk to me.”

“The only way I can describe it is to say that I feel extremely relieved.”

“Relieved?  About what?”

“Life?” she shook her head at herself.  “I mean, I… I’ve had some emotional hardships in my life.  Being with you just feels too good to be true. But it also feels like the greatest relief I’ve ever felt.  Like I always lived in the desert, and I didn’t even know it until I found out what water was. You’re my water, Kara.  You’re my oasis in the desert.”

The Kryptonian thought she might actually cry too, now.  “Lena… I don’t know what to say… I love you so much. I’m sorry you had to live that way for so long.  I hope you never have to live that way again, and I’ll do my best to keep it that way. You deserve every happiness that life has to offer, and I won’t let anyone take that happiness away.”  

Lena smiled through her tears.  “Thank you, Kara.”

“You betcha.”  She wiped Lena’s face, then kissed her deeply and as lovingly as she could muster.  They continued to lay there, kissing and snuggling until Kara’s knot went down, then she finally spoke, “We should get cleaned up before everyone else gets home.  I can still speed through most of the prep we were supposed to have done by now, so it shouldn’t be an issue.”

“Alright.”

They hopped in the shower and washed up quickly, then Kara sped through changing the sheets and then through dinner prep, and had her potatoes cooking, and her pork chops marinating in the fridge before anyone even called that they would be home.  They used the last of their time to, of course, just snuggle and kiss and grin stupidly at each other until the rest of the group got back. There was no way they could do anything else, really.
