Epilogue

That next day, Kara didn't come into work but Lena wasn't surprised.

Disappointed but not surprised.

Lena let out a breath as she checked her phone for a text or a call, hell, she'd even settle for an email at this point. But nothing.

Her phone and she grabbed for it without checking the caller ID, hoping against all hope that it was Kara with the answer she wanted to hear.

"Kara?"

"Sorry honey, it's Andrea."

Lena shut her eyes and slumped back in her chair.

"Everything ok?" Andrea pushed gently when Lena didn't respond.

Lena licked her lips and opened her eyes, taking a breath.

"I told her to give me an answer if she wants to be with me or not. The deadline is midnight tonight."

Andrea whistled.

"Wow, that's...short."

Lena's brow furrowed as she shook her head.

"I need to know Andrea. I can't-I can't keep doing this."

"I know...I know, she hasn't been very...forthcoming about what she wants."

Lena nodded in agreement.

"I get that she's scared. She's not out yet and I know it's a lot to take in but Andrea you know better than anyone how many times I've had my heart broken and how badly."

"I know honey, it's not been easy for you...love life wise." She added and Lena bit back a grin at her friend's little dig.

"It's just that-"

A knock cut Lena off mid sentence and she turned around.

She was used to knocking on her office door but not her balcony door.

Her eyes widened as she saw Supergirl standing outside.

"Uh...Andrea I'm going to have to call you back." She said distractedly then hung up without waiting for a response.

Lena stood and went out onto her balcony.

"Supergirl...can I help you with anything?" Lena asked warily.

Supergirl gave her a warm smile and took a step towards her.

"My answer is yes."

Lena frowned, her face the picture of confusion.

"Y-yes? Yes what?"

"Yes Lena. I want to be with you. As Supergirl… and as Kara."

Lena blinked and she thought her heart was going to stop.

"I-I don't-"

"I'm Kara, Lena."

Lena just stared for a long time; she didn't know if she was dreaming or if maybe she'd hit her head at some point and was hallucinating.

"Lena?" Kara asked hesitantly.

Lena's eyes seemed to re-focus and she looked at Kara.

"You're...Supergirl?"

Kara nodded, looking almost shy.

"I wanted to tell you but I also knew that being with you meant that I couldn't keep things from you and I didn't want to-not for a second-so I decided this...was the best way to tell you. I love you Lena and I want to be with you. I know that now."

When Lena didn't immediately respond, Kara winced.

"That is if you still want me."

Lena's features softened and she went to Kara, taking her face in her hands.

"Always."

They kissed and Kara smiled against Lena's lips.

This was everything she'd ever wanted and hadn't known she'd wanted it until it was in her arms. All her's. Lena was her's, just as Kara was her's.
