Explosive Article With lauronica_mars

Carm knew that Laura was exhausted. The second she watched her girls head hit the pillow Laura did her usual think of wrapping herself around Carm and burying herself. Carm as usual, put her arm around Laura and held her close while she slept.

The middle of the night told a completely different story. Carmilla could tell when Lara had recovered as the two of them made up for a lot of lost time. She woke with a groan, a mess of black hair and covered in nearly healed bite marks which caused her to smile at memory of earlier that night. “Laura…” She could feel her girlfriends arm across her back and their feet in the usual tangled together position.

When Laura didn’t reply she twisted in her arms and placed a kiss to her cheek while her hand brushed back Laura’s hair from her face. Even after all these years together Carm couldn’t understand how this one person changed everything. “Laura, time to wake up.”

Carm found the remote for the TV buried between their pillows and clicked it on. The volume was low but every channel was covered with breaking news. Laura’s article had hit the news with such impact, exactly as Kara had predicted.

“Hey!” Kara frowned. She ran her fingers through her hair. “It fools most people. Is it really that obvious?”

Carmilla wandered closer, her fingers brushing past the digital table. “And that thing that happened was me trying to turn Laura before you ask.” Carm left the detail about thinking she had killed her lover on the night Laura purposed but it did make her conscious of the ring on her finger.

As that sank in Winn nearly dropped his cup and alerted all of them to his presence in the background. When all eyes stared he nervously smiled and tried to enter the conversation. “So she’s like Rogue from X-Men? She borrows powers? That’s pretty cool right? If I had to have an ability I’d pick something like that….or maybe just flying?”

Carmilla rolled her eyes, “It means don’t upset her as she spends a lot of time around a vampire and gains my abilities and now she’s made friends with Kara she has some of her abilities as well.” Thankfully there wasn’t any need to point out the fact Laura was hovering off the ground as everyone had noticed.

Lena couldn’t stop staring at Laura, fascinated by her abilities from a scientific point of view. It took a few silent moments before she went back to the larger issue at hand. “You’re telling me that you have both known Kara is Supergirl from the start?”

“Lena it’s not like that. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want anything to change. You know what happened between Lex and Clark and I didn’t want to lose you!”

“Laura can I see you alone for a moment?” Lena said with a tone Carmilla picked up upon as numb.

Laura also picked up the tone. "I've known since my copy of her heat vision got out of control because I didn't know I had it. But there was only one person it could have come from, and once I knew she had heat vision the rest was easy even if she tried to deny it. And that's what let Carmilla know." Well, that and Kara blundering in. "She didn't tell me."

With Laura ignoring Lena’s request to talk to her alone, she walked over to the table again and shifted through some digital images. She told herself that the best way to cope with this was to not let the information sink in yet because she felt from the start that her and Kara’s friendship had been a lie.

“According to reports since the DEO have been shut down various aliens have been seen causing disturbances. If you want to help the people of this city, then I suggest you go out there and detain them for fair trail.” She sighed. “And Laura, the best thing you can do is get to CatCo and either put someone forward for mayor, backing what your article has written or run for mayor yourself.”
