Summary
Lena slides off of her stool, throwing self-preservation to the wind and flinging the door open without looking through the peephole first.
Kara’s wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and a sweatshirt Lena vaguely remembers borrowing in what feels like another lifetime. Her hands are in her pockets and her head is dipped forward, but her eyes are looking up at Lena, and there’s an air of uncertainty to her that Lena hasn’t seen in nearly a year. It steals the breath from her lungs and the words from her mouth, and her lips part wordlessly as they watch each other across the threshold.
“Hi,” Kara says softly.
Her weight shifts to rest unevenly on one leg as she looks at Lena, and Lena remembers how easy it was to talk to her, once.

Summary
There’s a fucking rose on the back of Lena’s neck.
The lighting in the tower bathroom is harsh, sure, and unflattering, yes, but the good thing about the fluorescent glare is that it provides decent enough illumination for any number of activities: patching up wounds, reading in relative silence, and, of course, investigating mysterious burning tattoos on the back of one’s neck.
And Lena is sure—certain, in fact—that the mark sitting right below her hairline, taunting pink against the paleness of her skin, is a rose, in the exact same swirling pattern as the love totem.
So that’s not ideal, really.
.
The love totem is destroyed, but its essence lives on. And that essence seems to have found a new home—the back of Lena's neck. Luckily, she has Kara to help her figure out who she's in love with. Kara, who seems prepared to guess that the subject of Lena's affection is just about anyone but herself.

Summary
“You know, I really don’t see why I couldn’t just fly us over there myself. We could be there in like, five minutes. Ten tops, if I was being careful.”
“And I told you,” Lena says, voice muffled from where she’s smooshed against Kara’s side. “I do not want to risk being carried through the open air by someone also attempting to carry several suitcases and bags as well as me. Plus, I don’t trust any method that can take us five thousand miles away in five minutes.”
“I’m just saying, we could be there already.”
“And I’m just saying no,” Lena says, poking Kara sharply in the ribs. “Now shush.”

Lena has a brilliant plan to get revenge on Kara: seduce her, make her fall in love with her, and then break her heart. It’s foolproof, really.
