I don't own any Supergirl and I don't make any money.

XOXO
Ch. 1
"Miss Luthor, Miss Danvers is here to see you," said Jess as her head poked around the door of Lena's office.
"Send her in, thank you," Lena called as she closed the files she was working on and began to gather her things. She and Kara had started having lunch dates—no, not dates, just lunch as friends—at least once a week. It was Wednesday, and the two were planning on going to Lena's favorite Thai place around the corner. She grabbed her purse and her phone as Kara bounced into the room.
"Oh my gosh, guess what!" she gushed as she grabbed Lena's hands in excitement. The touch sent a thrill through the CEO, but she forced herself to remain as neutral as possible.
"What is it?" she laughed as Kara practically danced from one foot to the other. Kara glanced around to confirm the office was empty, but she still lowered her voice anyway.
"J'onn gave me and Alex permission to leave the city this weekend." She tried to whisper it, but her enthusiasm crept into the words, making them squeak out louder than she had planned. "He's going to take care of National City this weekend which means we're totally free!"
"Oh, Kara, that's wonderful!" Lena replied with a smile. "You two deserve a break." She was a bit saddened at the idea of Kara going out of town, but she knew no one else in National City deserved a getaway as much as Supergirl did.
"We're going to go camping, and I want you to go with us!"
Lena blinked in surprise, her smile faltering a bit. It wasn't the idea of going out of town with Kara that gave her pause—that concept thrilled her—it was the proposed activity that had her hesitating.
"Camping," she repeated, the word feeling foreign even as it rolled off her tongue. "Y-You want me to go camping with you?" Kara nodded and began pulling her out the door, the growling of her stomach reminding her of her real purpose for meeting Lena. The blonde gushed about the trip and her overall love for the outdoors the entire walk to the restaurant.
"We always went camping as kids," she explained. "It was our favorite thing in the world; we would go probably ten times a year, sometimes even more! I never got tired of it, either. Alex did once she started to get a little older because she thought she was too cool for it, but she's totally over that now, I mean, obviously. She's just as excited as I am, and Maggie is coming too, so that's making her even more excited. And the place we're going has this amazing lake! We'll be able to swim the whole time and build a fire, and it's really secluded so we don't have to worry about anyone seeing, if you're worried about that, I mean."
She finally stopped to take a breath when the two were seated and given menus to consider. Lena had been chewing her lip nervously, but when she saw her opportunity to speak, she took it.
"I've never been camping," she blurted out, wincing as wide blue eyes slowly looked up at her.
"What do you mean?" Kara asked slowly, her brow furrowed like the time Lena had said she'd never eaten raw cookie dough. "How have you never been camping before?"
"It wasn't exactly a Luthor approved activity," she replied with a shrug. Honestly, the idea of Lillian Luthor roughing it in the woods for fun almost made her laugh. Almost. She thought Kara was going to retract her invitation as she continued to look at the brunette in shock, but instead she took on a new resoluteness.
"This is going to be the greatest weekend of all time," she said seriously. Kara then ordered an obscene amount of food for a normal person but a relatively light meal for her, while Lena debated internally. The absolute last thing she wanted to do was disappoint Kara in any way, and she loved the idea of getting to spend the entire weekend with her best friend without any Supergirl or L-Corp. distractions. She could think of many, many other activities she would rather they do, but Kara had made it clear that camping was important to her. Oh god, Lena thought suddenly. What if we share a tent?
"Lena?"
Lena snapped from her thoughts at Kara's voice and realized it was her turn to order. She blindly ordered the first menu item her eyes landed on, knowing the butterflies in her stomach would probably prevent her from eating, anyway. When the waitress disappeared, she took a long sip of her water in an effort to calm herself down.
"You'll come, won't you, Lee?" Kara asked, her eyes impossibly blue and perfectly round, her pink lips already starting to pout in anticipation of a 'no.' Between that look and the use of the little nickname Lena would despise from literally anyone else on the planet but secretly adored coming from Kara, the Luthor had made up her mind.
"Of course I'll come, Kara," she answered. The look of absolute joy that came over Kara's face was reassurance enough that Lena had made the right choice. Even if the weekend was terrible—which, if Kara was there, how could it be?—that look would make it entirely worth it.
