Slow ride

Summary:

When a computer glitch grounds all air travel Kara and Lena are forced to take a train up the west coast of America. Lena isn't a fan of such a long trip for so short a distance so Kara decides to change her mind...

Work Text:

“I hate train travel.” Lena Luthor grumbled as she followed her wife down the platform towards the front of the long set of gleaming silver carriages. “Have I ever told you that?”

“Ten times in the last hour.” Kara Danvers said with a grin as she glanced back over her shoulder, her left hand waving a notebook at Lena. “I’ve got the times written down if you don’t believe me.”

“Of course you do.” Lena sighed as they reached the last of the carriages and Kara stepped aboard, tucking her notebook into her jacket pocket in time to reach back and grab Lena’s case as she followed her up. “Can’t believe they grounded all planes over a damn software glitch! Wonder if L Corp can pitch for a replacement system…”

“If the mess at the airport was any indication they’d probably be interested.” Kara admitted as she glanced up at the seat numbers and led the way to a set of four seats, two facing forwards and two facing back with a table in the middle. This being first class they were relatively well padded and leather-wrapped. “I’m assuming you’d like the window seat?”

“If you don’t mind.” Lena said, a reluctant smile finally breaking through the dark mood gathered around her. “Always makes me feel better if I can see out, helps distract me.”

Kara stepped aside and half-bowed Lena into the seat. Lena laughed and slipped past her wife, waiting for Kara to take her own seat next to her before kissing her quickly on the cheek. “Sorry.” Lena said quietly. “I know I’m being… difficult about this.”

“You don’t need to apologise for being in a bad mood!” Kara admonished her gently. “Besides you booked all four seats so we’d be able to stretch out, I think that more than makes up for a bit of grumbling.”

Lena chuckled under her breath. “Good, though by the looks of it I needn’t have bothered.”

Kara had to agree with that. Apparently an awful lot of people were still stuck at the airport or, more likely, didn’t have Lena’s connections to get such a fast turnaround and were still waiting on their luggage. A quick glance with her x-ray vision told her most of the train was only about half full and their particular carriage was currently completely empty!

“How long are we on this thing for?” Lena asked though Kara was almost certain she already knew the answer.

“12 hours.” Kara said and rolled her eyes at the groan of frustration from Lena. “Come on, it’s not *that* bad.”

“No?” Lena shot back. “That’s 12 hours of sitting here watching the world crawl by with lousy food, a ride that’s anything but smooth, wi-fi that’s somehow worse than we get 36,000 feet up and I don’t even have any pressing work I can be getting on with while we’re waiting. All to do a trip that should take a quarter of the time.”

“At least we get to spend that time together.” Kara pointed out. “That’s pretty unusual these days.”

Lena hesitated than gave Kara an apologetic grin. “Yeah, sorry, you’re right. That’s the one good thing about all of this. Still I’d rather have flown then gotten the extra nine hours with you in a hotel room somewhere.”

“Oh really?” Kara asked, a wicked gleam in her eye. “Well Mrs Luthor, I think you may be underestimating my… creativity.”

Before Lena could ask what, exactly, Kara meant by that there was the metal clank of doors shutting down the length of the train. A whistle blew from the platform and with a jerk of effort the engine started to move out of the station. Lena glanced out of the window and saw the empty platform slowly slip past to be replaced firstly with the black interior of a tunnel then, after almost a minute, the low-rise buildings that were dotted along the train tracks as they meandered their way out of the city. She tried to relax, pushing her shoulders back into the leather of her seat and taking a few deep breaths. Kara was right, this wouldn’t be too bad. They could talk about… well, about almost anything and Lena knew from past experience how enjoyable that could be. Plus they both had new books to read and if they were really desperate there was always the internet circa 2005.

Lena was so lost in thought she didn’t really notice Kara shrugging off her blazer and placing it with exaggerated care between them. The thin armrest between their seats was pushed up so the two seats were more like one long bench and Kara hooked her coat over it. The material stretched down and along their upper thighs - Lena’s right and Kara’s left - leaving a little tent-covered area between the seats. And then, without any warning whatsoever, Lena felt a warm hand slip under her own suit jacket to tease her sides and stomach.

“Kara… what are you…”

“Well we don’t want you getting bored now, do we?” Kara teased, a sly smile on her face. Her fingers danced down Lena’s stomach to her waist where, with a deft move Kara’s fingers undid the catch of Lena’s suit pants. Before Lena could say anything Kara had pulled the zipper about halfway down before leaning back in her seat, left hand neatly hidden beneath the jacket with Kara’s middle finger slowly tapping on the waistband of Lena’s panties.

“Kara we are in public!” Lena whispered urgently but Kara just raised an eyebrow in a perfect imitation of Lena herself.

“Are we? Look around.”

“I don’t have your eyes and I’m damn sure not standing up to look!”

“Alright, have a listen then.” Kara said and waited for a few seconds before asking. “Hear anything?”

“No.” Lena said with obvious reluctance.

“We’re alone. Trust me. Not that you have much choice right now.” Kara said with a giggle that Lena found annoyingly irresistible. She opened her mouth to say…. Something. She wasn’t quite sure what though she knew she *ought* to demand Kara stop what she was doing right there and then. Unfortunately for Lena Kara chose that precise moment to let her hand slip down a bit and start running her middle finger along the very top of Lena’s pantie covered mound.

“Oh fuck.” Lena gasped and the words were so quiet Kara was sure the carriage could have been rammed to capacity and no-one would have heard.

“Mmmm?” Kara prompted and Lena rolled her eyes at the poor attempt at ignorance.

“Don’t give me ‘mmmm’ like you don’t know.” Lena said, her eyes fluttering as for the briefest heartbeat Kara moved her touch a little lower to graze Lena’s pussy lips. The cotton of her underwear was already wet and the extra friction just added to the sizzling excitement of what her wife was doing.

“Want me to stop?” Kara asked softly.

Yes, thought the sensible, responsible side of Lena Luthor.

“No.” Said the rest of her though she quickly brought her left hand across to momentarily hold Kara’s wrist through the jacket. “If I stay stop…”

“Don’t worry, I’ve got you.” Kara promised. Lena looked into those bright blue eyes and saw that familiar, loving gaze staring right back at her. With a soft smile that Kara knew was for her alone Lena Luthor nodded, let go of Kara’s wrist and settled back into the seat as if nothing out of the ordinary was happening.

“That’s my girl.” Kara said softly and as a quick reward let her fingers stray further down to give Lena’s clit a few quick and gentle swipes through her panties. Lena whimpered under her breath and her left arm was suddenly welded to the armrest by the window, her fingers gripping the padded leather in a death grip. Not that Kara was in any hurry to start pushing Lena’s ability to stay silent, they did after all have a long trip ahead of them. Speaking of which…

“Oops, almost forgot.” Kara leaned towards her wife and let her right hand dip inside Lena’s blazer, pulling out the tickets for their trip. She carefully put them on the edge of the table nearest the aisle. “Just thinking ahead, don’t worry about it.” Kara told Lena as she settled back down. “Enjoy the view and let me take care of the… ride.”

Lena was just about to complain about Kara’s sense of humour when the Girl of Steel shifted her grip a little and suddenly three fingers were gently tracing the outline of Lena’s pussy through her increasingly sodden panties. Kara’s middle finger moved lightly up and down the length of her slit while her ring and index fingers explored the outer edges of Lena’s sex. It was a very delicate touch, Kara clearly not wanting to push too far, too fast but Lena didn’t really care. The very public nature of the setting coupled with Kara being… well, Kara and in Lena’s opinion the sexiest woman on the planet was all conspiring to leave Lena a little light headed. Not to mention that Kara was using all of her super-powered senses to read Lena perfectly and oh so slowly let her excitement build.

Kara’s fingers started to wander a little further and Lena drew in a sharp breath as the middle digit pressed between her lips, slipping inside her pussy in a tight cotton condom of her panties. Kara didn’t let more than her fingertip enter her wife but it felt amazing. Lena licked her lips and turned slightly to face Kara, wondering if she dare ask - or the way Kara was going, demand - a kiss only to tense up as she saw the door at the far end of the carriage slide back. She watched in silent horror as a conductor entered, ticket machine slung around his neck.

“Kara…” Lena breathed in warning but Kara just smiled at her.

“Sit back. Relax. I’ve got this.” Kara assured her and very reluctantly Lena did as she was told. From his point of view there was nothing untoward going on of course, just a regular married couple sitting together, but her mind kept throwing up ways this could all go wrong. Annoyed with herself she forced those thoughts away into the smallest, darkest mental box she had, locked it and buried it. This was Kara. If she couldn’t trust her then who could she?

“Good morning ladies, how are you doing today?” The conductor asked with a welcoming smile. Lena was just about to relax when to her astonishment Kara let her fingers cup Lena’s sex and without warning or any obvious effort started her hand vibrating. It was gentle and silent but Lena suddenly had to fight to keep still, a deep moan fighting for freedom in her throat but she quashed it mercilessly.

“Pretty good.” Kara said with her usual dazzling smile. Normally Lena would have enjoyed seeing that smile even when it was directed elsewhere. It always made Kara look so alive, so vibrant and today was no different… except that would have involved moving a small part of her attention away from her immediate, overwhelming need to stay quiet and that really could’t happen! Kara nodded at their tickets and the conductor picked them up, running a practiced eye over the details.

“With us all the way to Seattle today?”

“Yeah. We were meant to be flying but apparently there’s some, uh, problems.”

The conductor snorted under his breath as he punched their tickets. He used a literal metal hole punch hanging from his belt and while she’d never say anything Kara always found such throwbacks a little fascinating. Her own world had been so far ahead of that sort of thing not even museums would have had anything close to the Kryptonian equivalent preserved.

“Well you definitely got on the right train. Sounds like half the population of National City turned up at the train station about five minutes after we departed, everything else today is going to be full to the ceiling!”

Kara laughed lightly and reached out with her right hand to take the tickets back. “Guess we got lucky. I’m assuming it won’t stay this quiet for long though?”

“Actually you might be in luck there. We’re light on bookings today, not expecting anyone in here until Klamath Falls. That’s just after we cross into Oregon which should be in about six hours. Could always have walk-ups at the other stops of course but given traffic reports have San Francisco pretty much at a standstill right now I’d say you’re going have some privacy.”

Lena relaxed a little at that news and shifted in her sight ever so slightly. That brought Kara’s vibrating middle finger to rest square on Lena’s clit and she couldn’t quite stop the little squeak of surprise from escaping her lips. Kara laughed and looked at her wife with a look that said she was having entirely too much fun.

“Oh come on love, it’s not *that* long a trip.” Kara teased before turning back to the conductor. “Sorry, she’s never been one for long trips. Always sees it as a waste of time.”

“I know exactly what you mean.” The conductor said. “Before they finally got around to building the new high speed link it took more than a day to get up to Seattle. It’s only, what, 1,200 miles? Those were killer trips, used to have to change crews on the way. If it helps any the dining car is open until we’re about half an hour out from Seattle and with the train so quiet you can probably get a decent walk in without disturbing anyone.”

“Thanks, we’ll probably do that!” Kara said. He started to walk off towards the doors to the next carriage then stopped suddenly. Kara felt Lena stiffen but didn’t move her hand or stop her fingers vibrating.

“Of course if you need anything just let myself or any member of the team know, we’ll do our best to make the trip as comfortable and interesting as possible for you.” He said.

“Thanks. I think we’re good for now but if anything…. Comes up we’ll let you know.” Kara told him with another beaming smile which he returned as he left to deal with the rest of the train. Lena gave him a mental count of ten once the door had slid closed behind him then turned to Kara.

“You… you….” Lena spluttered, her attempt at righteous anger - at least righteous indignation - somewhat spoiled by the wonderful feeling between her legs as Kara kept her fingers moving.

“What? I thought you wanted to be entertained?” Kara asked innocently.

“He could have seen…”

“No, he couldn’t.” Kara said softly. “I’d have made sure if he thought he noticed anything we’d have just been holding hands even if he’d yanked the coat out of the way.” Her eyes went soft and Lena felt her anger evaporate in the force of that look. “I won’t let anything happen to you that you don’t want to happen, remember?”

“I know.” Lena said. “I do it’s just… this isn’t easy to… to let go like this.”

“Not what your pussy’s saying right now.”

“KARA!” Lena hissed, forcing away the urge to look around the carriage for some unseen ears just waiting to pick up on such a comment.

“Don’t worry, we’re still alone.” Kara said as her fingers started to slowly drag their way up Lena’s panties to their thin waistband. “Otherwise I wouldn’t do this…” Her fingertips pressed against Lena’s soft skins her hand slipped below Lena’s panties. A moment later Kara let out a soft groan of her own as her questing fingers found soft, warm and very wet flesh waiting for them.

“Mmmm that feels good…” Lena sighed under her breath, taking some comfort from knowing that the quietest whisper would be clear as a tolling bell to Kara.

“Just sit back and enjoy this.” Kara said softly and smiled as Lena finally did exactly that. Kara watched her for a few long seconds until Lena noticed her staring.

“What?”

Kara blushed but didn’t turn away from Lena’s questioning look. “Nothing. Well… no, more like everything. I mean… it’s just I love that look.”

“What look?”

“The one you have when… I guess when you can really put away the Lena Luthor you have to show to the world and just relax. Be… yourself, sort of?”

Lena laughed and this time she did lean up to kiss Kara. It was a slow, soft kiss that seemed to almost follow the gentle rhythm of Kara’s fingers as they oh-so-slowly stoked the fire within her.

“I know what you mean.” Lena reassured her wife. “And you’re right. Lena Luthor, the genius businesswoman…”

“You left out billionaire.” Kara pointed out helpfully and Lena playfully taped Kara’s nose.

“Only because *someone* has never quite gotten used to the idea she doesn’t have to book motels when on interview assignments anymore. Anyway the point is that Lena… she’s armour. Someone I put on to protect myself when I was very young. With you… with you I don’t need her. I can just be… me.” Lena laughed but there was sadness tinging the sound. “Which is a first, by the way. It’s not like I could do that around my family, they’d have disowned me on the spot!”

“Well I’m just glad you can do that now.” Kara said softly. “And for telling me that I think you’ve earned a little reward…”

Before Lena could ask what Kara had in mind she felt the blonde slip her middle finger into Lena up to the second knuckle, curling the digit around to rub against the front wall of Lena’s pussy. Lena’s mouth dropped open in a silent ‘O’ as she shivered around the intruder. Compared to what they routinely did in the privacy of their own home this was almost nothing yet right now Lena felt like Kara was fucking her with a substantial strap-on for the world to see. And while there was still that fearful thrill which came along with the possibility of discovery suddenly Lena found she didn’t really care. Let the world see this. Hell let them see Kara fucking her with a strap-on! The fact was the beautiful blonde - who also happened to be the strongest woman on the planet and a literal paragon of hope - was married to her. Let the watch and wish they were in her place!

For the next few minutes Kara slowly, almost lazily, explored Lena’s sex as best she could without leaving her seat or even stretching over. The most she did was slump down in her seat a little, just enough to let her get a better angle then she resumed the steady touch all the way from Lena’s waist to the curve of her ass which was as far as Kara could go before the seat got in the way. It was maddeningly slow but felt so good Lena couldn’t quite bring herself to complain or ask for more. She glanced out of the window and realised they were once again travelling through a built-up area and with a lurch she realised the train was slowing down!

“Kara, we’re stopping…” Lena said urgently but her wife just laughed and shook her head.

“No, we’re just passing through.” Kara told her. “And we’re not stopping.” She added firmly, her fingers shifting to gently tease Lena’s clit so as to leave no doubt she was no longer talking about the journey.

Lena felt her eyes drift closed for a moment as the renewed pleasure washed through her and by the time she’d collected her thoughts enough to open them again she found herself looking at the start of what turned out to be a long platform. It rolled lazily by, the train slowing right down to avoid any danger to those waiting and Lena felt a thrill roll through her as she saw dozens if not hundreds of people watching as they waited for their own connections to arrive. So many people, all of them looking at her… and none of them having the first idea of what they were doing.

As if reading Lena’s mind Kara chose that moment to start moving her fingers a little faster, letting her index finger plunder Lena’s pussy as she finally started to give the beautiful genius what she’d been craving ever since they’d started this little adventure. Lena felt the moan racing up her throat and clamped her lips together, forcing her expression to stay neutral as her whole body shivered with delight. But she kept looking out the window, kept letting the world see her like this even if the world had no idea what it was really looking at.

And just like that the end of the platform zipped out of sight behind them and the train started to pick up speed again. Lena gave herself a handful of heartbeats then turned to Kara with her very best ‘innocent seductress’ look firmly in place.

“That was mean.” Lena said softly but there was no rebuke in the words.

“Yuuuuup.” Kara said with a grin. “But you did really well.”

“Well enough for a reward?” Lena asked, her eyes suddenly alive with mischief. To her delight she caught a slight blush on Kara’s cheeks but knew better than to point that out. After all she wanted Kara to be kind to her!

“Hmm…” Kara pretended to think while letting her middle finger join her index finger inside Lena. For good measure her ring finger started to tap Lena’s clit as if Kara were drumming her hand on a table in a coffee shop while mulling her order. Lena risked letting slip a soft groan of delight, hoping it would spur Kara on. It turned out she was half-right…

“Not quite.” Kara said after almost a minute had rolled by and Lena was practically panting with desire. “But I’ll make you a deal.”

“O..okay.” Lena said, not quite able to keep the tremor from her voice.

“I’d planned on teasing you all the way to Seattle.” Kara said matter-of-factly and she couldn’t help grinning at the mew of protest from Lena. “But maybe this will be more fun. I’ll still tease you for the whole trip but I’ll also make you cum…. Every time we roll through a station like that. And I’ll tell you right before we get there if you have to look at me or at the people waiting as we go past.”

Lena’s mind raced. Her instinct was to refuse, the risk of discovery was too high and she knew that if Kara put her all into what she was doing there was no way Lena would be able to keep from reacting. Hell there was no way she’d keep from screaming! But… but this was Kara. She was inventive and wonderfully devious when she wanted to be but there wasn’t a cruel bone in her body. Slowly, carefully, Lena nodded.

“Alright… deal.”

Kara’s face lit up like a pinball machine announcing a multi ball bonus. “Really?”

“Really.” Lena said with a soft smile. “But with one small addition. Once we get into the privacy of our room tonight that ass is mine.”

“Isn’t it always?” Kara replied with a goofy grin that should have looked silly but just made Lena’s heart melt.

“Kara… have I told you I love you today?”

Kara laughed and let her fingers curl a little more forcefully inside her wife. “No… but the day’s still young.”

Lena joined in the laughter and leaned back in her seat, taking a deep breath. “Well, my love, I’m in your hands… quite literally!”

Kara couldn’t resist leaning in and kissing Lena’s cheek as she started to build Lena’s excitement up to the next level. Her senses stretched out far beyond the train, occasionally stolen glances down the track checking where they were so she could get her timing right. But never, not for a moment, did her attention drift from the remarkable woman beside her. Every breath, every tremor, every soft moan.. all of it flooded through Kara and she revelled in the fact it was her doing this to Lena.

The next station was less crowded but there were still dozens of faces watching as their train crawled past. True to her word Kara granted Lena her release with exquisite timing. Her fingers quickened and sought out familiar territory that she knew would quickly drive Lena over the edge. As Lena’s pulse thundered in Kara’s ears she saw her lovers’ left hand grip the armrest and as the platform edge slipped into view Kara placed the pad of her ring finger on Lena’s clit and let it vibrate at super-speed. The orgasm was practically instantaneous and Lena’s legs flexed and clenched around Kara’s hand, her body shuddering with the release… yet somehow she kept the pleasure from showing on her face as she watched the small audience flow past the window.

“Well done my love.” Kara said softly once the train was picking up speed again. “And as a reward…” She let her hand slip from beneath Lena’s panties and carefully brought it out from under the cover of her coat. Raising her fingers to her lips she carefully, almost delicately, sucked them clean of Lena’s essence, eyes flickering closed at the heavenly taste.

“How… how many more stations are there like that?” Lena asked, licking suddenly dry lips.

“About twenty.”

“Twenty!”

Kara laughed and kissed Lena’s cheek again. “Don’t worry, they’re pretty far apart. Well… except for the three in about ten miles on the way in to Seattle.”

Lena groaned as she realised what that meant but the grin pricking the corners of her lips told Kara she had no intention of backing out of the game. Instead Lena just pinned Kara to the seat with a single look.

“Just remember… when this is all over and we’re alone somewhere private I’m going to pay you back for every single orgasm you give me!”

“Is that supposed to be a threat?” Kara asked with a giggle.

“No.” Lena said, allowing an almost predatory grin to settle on her face. “Consider it a promise!”

Kara laughed and winked at her wife. “You know how tempting promises like that make it to just pick this whole train up and fly us there?”

“Yeah, I do.” Lena said, leaning back in her seat again. “But you won’t.”

Kara grinned and to Lena’s slight surprise stood up. “Where are you going?”

“I thought I’d go grab us something to drink. Don’t want you getting dehydrated after all, it’s a long, long trip!”

Lena laughed and made a point of leaning over as far as she dared to make a point of watching Kara leave. Once the door had slid shut and blocked her view Lena turned back to the window and the countryside rolling by at a little over a hundred miles an hour. She still wasn’t entirely sold on train travel but, she had to admit with a wry smile reflected in the window, she could definitely be convinced…
