"Almost," Alex said.

She hesitated a little. She wasn't nearly as self-conscious as Lena, but there was a little reticence to her movement as she went back to the drawer. She put the box of kryptonite away, and a moment later pulled out a tub. Her hands shook a little.

"This is... probably the best shot," Alex said.

"What is it?" Lena said.

"Lotion," Alex said. "We had a bit of trouble with some kryptonians a while ago, and we tried to find some way to make a human immune to them without running the usual risks of radiation exposure. You need low-grade kryptonite to not run the risk of side-effects, but you need a certain amount to repel kryptonians, so the most practical solution we found was a combination of worn kryptonite and, erm, this stuff. It soaks into you, weakens any powers they try to use on you much more efficiently."

Lena tried to follow along. She made a mental note of a few points, L-Corp had been considering a similar invention.

Then she realized why Alex suddenly seemed so awkward.

"So, erm, can I apply it?" Alex said. Lena blushed.

"Where does it need to go?" Lena said.

"Everywhere," Alex said. She reddened. "Especially the, er, places you don't want Kara to expose."

Oh. Lena's cheeks burned. Then she stretched her arms out and stood up, not seeing any other way. Better a little private humiliation than city-wide exposure.

"Get it over with," Lena said.

Alex nodded as professionally as she could. She opened the tub and walked over.

She started at Lena's hand, rubbing circles around each finger individually, then her palm, then up each arm. She stood behind Lena, sparing them both the awkwardness of eye contact, though there's no helping it when she has to rub down Lena's chest. Her hands linger on her breasts, and Alex kept telling herself it was for Lena's safety, making extra sure Kara's powers wouldn't work on anything Lena wore there.

It's a while before Alex remembers to move on. She carefully adjusts each band as she rubs the lotion in around them, the lotion adding little more than a sheen to Lena's skin as she goes.

Lena bites her lip as Alex starts on her bare feet, then keeps on up. She can't help her breath quickening as Alex's massaging fingers reach the last couple of particularly private spots she doesn't want Kara baring again, and her teeth dig into her lip as she tries to avoid making any sounds that would make this far more awkward for the both of them.

Alex's fingers are slick with a little more than just the lotion when she at last pulls back, looking Lena up and down with a mix of professionality and desire, making sure the lotion's fully applied. It's a moment before either of them talk. Lena's breathless.

"So, can I get dressed now?" Lena said shakily.
