Asking for a Friend
Lena felt a bit like a test subject, having to undergo thorough security before even stepping foot into the main DEO building. However, she took it all in stride, knowing it would lead to good results. Throughout the entire process, her green eyes sought the eyes of her lover, having handed her the lead lined case to keep it safe. She hadn’t had the chance to tell Lucy what lay inside, but she trusted the soldier to keep it close.
“Am I done, sir?” Lena asked the agent with a slight inflection of exasperation in her tone. It was the fourth going on fifth time he had run his hands over her sides in an attempt to make sure she hadn’t hidden any weapon under her clothes. At this point she figured the man was just doing it just to do it, let alone most likely following the orders of his other boss, a certain red headed agent who most likely had it out for Lena.
With a grunt, the man had finally let go, and she proceeded to pass by the 2nd metal detector before reaching the end of the security check to grab her belt and coat. She turned to Lucy and smirked.
“Well, that was something.”

Lena looked at the lead lined case, nodding.
“Supergirl’s been exposed to kryptonite for a really long time, synthetic or not. I had started to work on this yellow sun emitter, a grenade of sorts, that would disperse concentrated sunlight in case Supergirl became weakened.” She cleared her throat awkwardly.
“I was going to give it to her as a present, in case she ever needed it..” Lena trailed off, reflecting on how messed up things actually became. After everything, she was just exhausted.
“I have a few more notes to pour over, if you don’t mind me using your office? I know you have to leave..”
Lena moved closer, cupping Lucy’s chin. “Whatever happens, just please be safe.” She pecked Lucy’s lips quickly, smiling slightly.
Lucy leaned against Lena’s touch, kissing her back and pulling her closer for a moment, by the waist.
“I primise I’ll be careful. I’ll make sure no one bothers you while you’re here. You can use my office.”
She nuzzled her, drawing strenght from her sweet smell.
“Once we find Kara and all of this is over, I promise I’ll have much more time for you.”
No one had an idea of how much time she would have in her hands. With a last sweet kiss she released her and took a step back.
“I better go. See you when I come back.”
And with a smile she left her office, calling for the teams to get ready to go in to the next location.
