Summary:

When Lena returns, Kara is obediently sitting on one of the barstools, her blazer neatly folded on the stool next to her, the peas still balancing on the back of her hand. Her holster contrasts against the white of her shirt, and Lena traces the dark leather up against her chest, her eyes zeroing in on the splatters of blood that darken the collar.

OR Bodyguard AU where, at Jess's behest, Lena hires Argo Protection Services when there's an attempt on her life and Kara becomes her personal bodyguard, and maybe something more.

Here we have it! The first part of my fic for the @argo-city-exchange event, written for @mysteriousinvalue 

Lena takes a moment to commit Kara to memory. The slope of her nose, the scar above her eye, caused by them falling out of a tree two summers ago. The blush on her cheeks. Kara looks ethereal in the autumn sun, and Lena feels an unbidden sadness well up inside her chest.

“We should go there then. Visit the magician.” Kara takes Lena’s hand and squeezes it. “They can’t stop us if we want to be together.” A single tear tracks its way down Kara’s cheek, the wetness glimmering in the setting sun.

“They’ll never find us,” Lena agrees, eyes burning. She longs to reach out and brush Kara’s tears away. “One day, we’ll run away together.

“You promise to take me with you?”

“I promise.” Lena nods, the motion dislodging her own tears. “We’ll disappear.”
