Chapter Text
Lena lazily snuggled into the warmth of Kara’s bare side. This was happiness. She nuzzled her nose into her lovers sternum. Breathing in her lungs filled with the scent of Kara. It was all sunshine, happiness and that something special. She kissed the soft skin against her mouth. The scent was intoxicating. Her mouth watered. Well, Kara had said to eat whenever she was hungry, and she was feeling starved.
Her eyes opened slowly as she rolled herself on top of Kara. Kara let out a soft sigh, her hands moving so that she was loosely holding onto her. It was sweet, clearly Kara was still asleep.
Lena smirked as she began to kiss her way down Kara’s chest. She held off from hard nips or sucking, simple presses of lips alone. Licking at the swell of Kara’s breast she lightly sucked a pink nipple into her mouth. Her tongue curled around the nub before she sucked.
Shifting, Kara let out a soft moan in the back of her throat. Her eyes didn’t open, ahd the beat of her heart barely increased. Soft breaths and relaxed body easily showing she remained asleep.
Well, that was interesting. Lena pulled up, the blankets spilling down her back as she straddled her girlfriend. She just stayed there, taking in the nude form, the perfection of the god beneath her. The contrast of hard muscle and soft curves was breathtaking. It was lucky she didn’t need to breathe. Licking her lips she shifted so that she was between Kara’s legs. Her hands fell to Kara’s thighs that so easily fell open for her to kneel between. Lena closed her eyes breathing deeply, her every supernatural abilities locking on everything that was Kara. Her eyes opened widely before she lowered herself down between Kara’s legs.
Lena stuck two of her fingers into her mouth. Drawing them out she slid her wet fingers against Kara’s outer lips. Nuzzling her mouth against the soft skin of the inner thigh she licked along up to the upper most inside of the thing. Her gums felt that delicious ache of her fangs descending. Breathing out her breath ghosted across the damp skin she bit down into the artery.
Hot blood filled her mouth as she slipped two fingers inside of Kara and curled them forward, pressing them just so. Her eyes closed in pleasure from the taste and smell. She purred as hands threaded through her hair and cries of pleasure filled the room. Lena’s eyes rolled back as she began to pump her fingers with each pull of blood she took as Kara’s wetness allowed. She pressed her thumb to Kara’s clit.
There was a sharp cry, Kara’s hands tightening and thighs closing around her head. Lena carefully pulled her fangs out of her leg. She licked at the bite before replacing her fingers with her mouth. Afterall she was still starving and this was nearly just as intoxicating as blood. She licked into her eagerly, Kara’s wimpers were music to her ears.
Lena licked her lips with a satisfied hum. The strong scent of coffee wafting up from her cup.
“I know you’re doing that on purpose.” Kara’s cheeks were pink as she pouted at her from where she was demolishing a stack of pancakes.
She raised a brow feeling entirely smug, running a finger along the rim of her mug of coffee she eyed the high collar Kara was wearing. “You positively scrumptious.”
Kara’s face turned pinker as she ducked her head. “I have to be at work.” She swatted the hand that was trailing up her leg. “Later.”
“Are we still on for lunch?” Lena pulled her hand back. This was wonderful, she leaned letting her elbows rest on the counter.
Kara pushed her glasses up her nose. “Of course.” She smiled, leaning in and pressing a soft kiss on her lips. “I look forward to our lunches.”
“I do as well.” Lena’s face softened. Her heart was completely full as she watched the woman she loved look at her seemingly content. Everything felt warm.
Kara lowered her fork slightly. “Are you seeing the therapist again this morning?”
“Yes, I think it’s been helping. Haven’t woken up and tried to break into your apartment more than that one time.” Lena’s eyes flicked away in shame at that particular incident.
There was a short snort. “You haven’t left a hickey above my collar line in a week.” Kara’s ear tips turned pink. “The gifts at work have been a nice alternative to the crazy hickies everywhere.”
“Yes well, are you getting enough sunlight?” Lena entwined their fingers.
Kara smiled pressing a kiss to her cheek. “Don’t worry, Supergirling and the bullpen have plenty of light.”

Lena signed off on the hiring of a new security team for the lab levels. “Any progress on the investigation into Smith?”
“He’s been coming up clean so far.” Jess replied. “But it’ll take time to run new checks on all the department heads.”
She pulled up the next sheet, a request for new testing on lab mice in lab 5 as well as additional funding. It was a promising study on diabetes treatment. “Do you think adding random deep searches to employees would go over with the union?”
“It would take negotiating but considering the safety risks they might be willing to allow it.” Jess replied easily. “It’ll take six months at a minimum. Should I have one of the lawyers begin setting up a brief.”
Lena rapped her fingers against the desk while signing off on the diabetes test funding. “Do it, also if you could have some daisies sent to Kara’s office with my apologies. I’m not going to make it to lunch today.”
“Of course.” Jess hummed while writing down the request. “Wayne Consolidated requested a meeting over the copyright dispute.”
She pinched the bridge of her nose. “Is there a way to fire the idiot who started this mess a second time?”
“No. I’ll schedule the meeting for three o’clock?” Jess informed her while writing things down.
Lena flicked her eyes up. “Video meeting?”
“Of course, also there’s been an issue with our steel mill locally. Brian wants to switch companies.” Jess looked slightly sorry for her.
Lena wished she could get day drunk. “Make those daisies tulips and send it with a large order of potstickers. I’m going to be here late tonight.” And the day had started so well too…
Lena was reading through the copyright issue, which was ridiculous and if she was actually a monster she’d have eaten the idiot who started it all. Who uses Wayne merchandise for an official L-corp function? One posted on their website? She really wished she could kill the fool. A feeling like something crawling down her spine made her freeze.
She focused on her senses and looked up, her posture straightening. “Hello Lillian.”
“Lena.” Lillian’s voice was dripping with disdain. “I see you’ve remodeled. Vey modern, quite tacky.”
“I don’t remember inviting you.” Lena set her pen down. “In fact I specifically banned you from the premise. How did you get in?”
Lillian raised a brow. “Short sighted questions as always. What matters is why you’re in bed with a Super.”
“Interesting theory, with that sort of information what is it that you want?” A growl wanted to escape from her chest. Her fingers curled around the handle of the taser under the desk. The implication Lillian knew Kara was Supergirl wasn’t lost on her.
Lillian pulled a small device out of her pocket. “To remove the stain forced on my line.”
“I’m not so weak as for that to be easy for you.” Lena rolled her chair back ever so slightly back so she could get out of her chair quickly if possible.
Lillian looked at her with cold dead eyes. “In order for Cadmus to rise you need to go. Your sacrifice will lead to the retaking of our planet.” She hit the button on the device.
Lena’s eye twitched as she recognized the sound, it was a white noise machine. She released the taser handle and slipped a remote into her palm. Standing she felt an instinctive wariness of Lillian. She’d always felt the hair on the back of her neck stand on end. It was worse now. There was no question she couldn’t stand against this woman. With the noise machine on Kara wouldn’t be able to help. “So what, just going to kill me?”
“You make it so crass.” Lillian rolled her shoulders, pulling her coat off and setting it down over the back of the couch.
She stood up. “Getting your hands dirty personally. Can’t let anyone know you’re a vampire. No one trusted enough to know that secret.” Her eyes narrowed.
Lillian pulled on a pair of gloves. “Well, humans are so easily afraid of what they don’t understand. They wouldn’t understand aliens are invasive predators instead of their natural predators.”
“You’re a monster.” Lena snarled as she laid her thumb over the trigger of the remote. “I know what Cadmus is, you’re more of a monster than Lex ever was.”
Lillian sneered before moving. It was fast, nearly as fast as Kara.
Lena took a step back, she knocked the first hand to the side only for the second to grab her by the throat, slamming her against the glass. She choked as the glass cracked behind her. Lena smirked as she grabbed onto Lillian’s hand. “You shouldn’t have done that.”
A solid resolution down to Lena’s bones. “You won’t hurt anyone, ever again.” She croaked from the pressure around her throat.
“What are you talking about idiot girl?” Lillian half snapped half snarled.
Lena smirked as she hit the button. “See you in hell.” And then the windows exploded from tiny devices lining the edges of every window in the office.
Sunlight hit them both, even as their combined weight sent them crashing through and out onto the balcony before tumbling off into the air beyond.
Lillian screamed, her skin lighting aflame, burning away like old film strips caught on a candle from behind. The bones showed as her arms curled to her chest, the wind whipping the smoke and soot away.
Lena had time to feel triumphant, her mother could never hurt Kara, her mate. She closed her eyes, accepting the horror of what must be happening to her. For a long second she realized she could feel the sun on her skin for the first time in since she’d been turned. And then she was caught in strong arms.
////
Kara barely managed to catch Lena before she hit the pavement. She swooped upwards, desperate to get Lena out of the sun. Oh Rao she could smell the smoke of burnt flesh and it sickened her. Crashing into the office, Kara dropped Lena in the furthest corner from the sun, ripped her cape off, wrapping it around her. “Lena!? LENA!”
“I’m not burnt.” Lena said so softly it barely registered. She held up her hands staring at them in awe.
Kara reached out, catching Lena’s face. She examined her up and down, ensuring she was there and real. Sucking in a sob she lunged hugging Lena as tightly as she dared, face buried in her girlfriend’s shoulder. “I thought I’d lost you.”
Lena didn’t particularly react to the hug. She just stayed there, kneeling on the ground of her destroyed office. “I didn’t burn.”
There was something off to Lena’s voice. Kara sat back, tears running down her face. “What?” She choked as she saw Lena’s hand. Her own hand shot out, grabbing Lena’s wrist only to freeze. The pale hand wasn’t burning in the sunlight.
Lena stood up shakily, the cape falling to the ground. She took a step, and then a second till her entire person was in the sunlight. Turning slowly she looked down at where Kara was still kneeling on the floor. “I’m not burning.”
“How…” Kara cracked, she didn’t understand what was happening, it was too much.
Her girlfriend just laughed in disbelief. “I’m not burning. Lillian burned but I’m not.” Her lips pulled up into a breathtaking expression of joy. “I’m not burning Kara!”
“I don’t...I thought I’d lost you.” Her voice was thick, tears still spilling down her cheeks.
Lena seemed to process her upheaval at that moment. She dropped back down onto her knees in front of her. Her arms wrapped around Kara’s broader shoulders hugging her tightly. “I’m alive, I’m alright. I’m in sunlight and I’m alright.”
“I don’t understand.” Kara cried as she held on, her fingers clutching at her as if she’d turn to smoke if she let go for even a second.
Lena paused, her mind racing. She pulled back slightly, catching Kara’s face between her hands. “You, you’re the only variable.” Her voice held a breathless quality. “You gave me back the sun.”
Kara just stared at her, uncomprehending. But then she had Lena’s lips pressed against her’s, the taste of her tears on her lips. She could feel Lena against her, alive. Kara pressed into the kiss desperately, Lena was alive. She was ALIVE!
Lena broke their kiss to fall into laughter. “You’re my sun.” Her face was like the dawn as she took her in. “My love, my hero, my sun.”
