It's been a few months since we saved the world from Reign; I've been the Director for the DEO in those few months and I still can't believe it. I also can't believe that J'onn didn't tell me how hard it is to actually run the DEO. He's helped me here and there but other than that I've been doing it all on my own. Kara believes in me and so does everyone else I just have to believe in myself. Kara came to me the other day and said she wanted to tell Lena that she was Supergirl but she was afraid that Lena would never talk to her again. I told her she needed to trust her instincts and if they were telling her to tell Lena then she should. As I'm making breakfast I hear a knock on my door.
"Lena, what's going on?", I asked Lena as she stormed into my apartment.
"You knew about Kara…of course you did you're her sister. Why didn't anyone tell me? Did you really think I was that stupid that I didn't know she was Supergirl? I was waiting for one of you to actually come to me and tell me so I wasn't assuming something.", Lena said to me. Well she kind of yelled.
"It was Kara's secret to tell not anyone else. It's her choice with whom she wants to tell. I think she didn't tell you because if she thought you didn't know then she could just be Kara with you. With everyone else who knows she has to be Kara and Supergirl. But with you can she can be vulnerable with you, and I think Kara needed that for a while. She came to me and asked if I thought it was a good idea to tell you. She was afraid you were going to be pissed at her. I told her to do what she felt was right.", I said to Lena.
"I get that but if you and I are going to get closer and try a relationship with each other we can't lie to each other. I thought we told each other everything so far.", Lena said to me. Oh yeah forgot to mention that Lena and I have been kind of dating the last few weeks. I guess now we are going to have our first disagreement.
"I apologize, but like I said it was Kara's secret to tell. I didn't want to lie to you but I also didn't want to lose Kara's trust. I'll admit that was the wrong things to do but at the same time you are both important to me and I didn't know what to do in the situation.", I said to Lena as I started to set up a plate for her and I.
"I didn't think of that, I was just so upset that no one came to me. I knew who she was the first time she disappeared without an explanation. But I was waiting for someone to confirm it. I apologize myself for putting you in that situation.", Lena said to me. "By the way does Kara know about us?", Lena then asked me as we started to eat our breakfast.
"Hey Alex, can we…oh I didn't know you had company.", Kara said as she walked into my apartment.
"It's called knocking and you have super hearing.", I said to Kara with a smile on my face.
"Right well I was trying to not snoop. Can we talk later?", Kara asked me.
"I was just about to go to work. Call me at lunch?", Lena asked me as she hugged me and kissed my lips.
"I'll call you for lunch.", I said to her as she left the apartment.
"You two are dating? Since when? And why didn't either of you tell me?", Kara asked me with a smile on her face.
"We are, and only a few weeks. We didn't want to say anything yet. Also, she's not mad at you just upset that no one confirmed that you were Supergirl. She'll be okay give her some time.", I said to Kara as I handed her a plate of food.
"Yeah I hope so I don't want to lose her as a friend.", Kara said to me.
"You won't like I said give her time. She's just a stubborn as us.", I said to Kara with a smirk on my face.
"I've learned that. So, aren't you supposed to be at the DEO already?", Kara asked me.
"Not today, I left Agent Vasquez in charge for today. I have a doctor's appointment today.", I said to Kara.
"Oh, you do? Wait why isn't Lena going with you?", Kara asked me with concern on her face.
"She knows but I wanted to do this myself. I'm just going to see if I can even have kids. When I get the results back and I can have kids her and I will talk about it. But so far, we are on the same page.", I said to Kara with a smile on my face.
"But wait you just started dating and she's okay with having a kid with you. Isn't that moving a little too fast?", Kara said to me with a questioning look on her face.
"She isn't going to have a kid with me. I'm going to have a kid; she's just willing to date me with being pregnant and having a kid. Eventually if we think marriage and family is on the table then she'll adopt the baby. She's going to help raise the baby too. We've talked about this; she knew during Reign that I wanted kids and that I was going to have them no matter what. She actually told me that I was going to be a great mother one day.", I said to Kara with a smile on my face.
"I'm glad you two have each other.", Kara said with a smile of her own.
"Things so far are going great.", I said to Kara with a smile on my face.
"I can see you're guarded though. Why? Do you not trust her?", Kara said then asked.
"It has nothing to do with Lena, I'm guarded because of what happened with Maggie and I. I know this is going to be different, but at the same time I have to protect myself.", I said to Kara.
"I get that, but one thing I know about Lena. Is that she's very protective of the people she calls family. That extends to you, and knowing her she's falling for you hard. Just don't push her away, let her be there for you. She knows what happened with you and Maggie she knows you were hurt. But I have a feeling your relationship with Lena is going to be totally different then your relationship with Maggie.", Kara said to me with a smile on her face.
"I know, I'm trying to not be guarded but it's hard. We are working everything out though. We've talked about a lot of things and are still talking.", I said to Kara.
"That's all it comes down to, communication. So, let's go to that doctor's appointment you have.", Kara said to me with excitement in her voice.
"You don't have to come with me, Kara. You have work.", I said to Kara.
"Well since your girlfriend is my boss, she already told me about the doctor's appointment and told me to take the morning off.", Kara said to me with a laugh to her voice.
"Aren't you two like not on speaking terms? How did she tell you?", I asked Kara as we were heading out of my apartment.
"We are talking on business terms, I guess she took this as a business talk rather than a friend talk.", Kara said to me with a sad expression on her face.
"It'll all work out, she won't be mad at you long.", I said to Kara.
"We'll see about that I lied to her just like everyone else did when she was growing up.", Kara said to me with a sad expression on her face.
"She'll get over it, I believe she just needs time to wrap her head around everything. She understands why you didn't tell her, yes, she may be annoyed that no one confirmed that you were Supergirl. But she understands why no one did. I'll talk to her later, see where her head is at.", I said to Kara as we walked into the doctor's office.
"I thought you were looking into adopting?", Kara asked me as I signed in and we sat down to wait to be called into the room.
"I'm checking all avenues, just in case I can't get pregnant I have to option to adopt. But if I can't adopt then I need to know if I can even carry kids of my own.", I said to Kara with a smile on my face.
"Makes sense, never thought of that to be honest.", Kara said to me with a smile on her face.
"And before you ask, yes Lena knows about this already.", I said to Kara with a smile on my face knowing what my sister was already thinking.
"You guys have talked about everything then?", Kara asked me as I was answering a text message from Lena.
"Yeah we have, there are still some things we need to talk about. But for the most part we've talked about a lot of stuff.", I said to Kara.
"Alex Danvers.", the nurse said as she stepped out into the waiting room.
"You staying here or coming with?", I asked Kara.
"I'll come in if you want.", Kara said to me.
"Lets go.", I said as we followed the nurse into the exam room. "She's family by the way. My sister, who whatever needs to be said or done can be said or done in front of her.", I said to the nurse as I sat down on the exam table.
"Sounds good, I'm Kathy by the way. We are just going to start with the basics then the doctor will come in and do a sonogram to see what's going on. I'm also going to take some blood as well.", Kathy said to us.
"I'm Kara, Alex's sister as you know.", Kara said as she shook Kathy's hand. If I didn't know any better I would think my sister is trying to flirt with her. Though Kara doesn't really know how to flirt, but then again maybe she's doing it without knowing.
"Kara as in Kara Danvers, the reporter for CatCo?", Kathy asked as she was taking my blood pressure.
"The one and only.", Kara said with a smile on her face.
"I have read every one of your articles, they are all so well written.", Kathy said to Kara with a flirty smile.
"Thank you. I didn't think anyone outside of my family read my articles. Glad to know someone likes them.", Kara said to Kathy.
"Your work is amazing, Kara.", Kathy said. "The doctor will be right in.", Kathy said before she headed out of the door. Once the door was shut I bust out laughing at the dopey grin on my sister's face.
"What are you laughing about?", Kara said with a serious tone of voice.
"You, she was so flirting with you. And you were taking the bait, I think you were even flirting back.", I said to Kara in between my laughing.
"She was not flirting with me, and I wasn't flirting back.", Kara said to me a she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Yes to both. You both were making googly eyes at each other. It was kind of cute.", I said to Kara with a smirk on my face.
"Shut up. I hate you.", Kara said as the door opened again and in walked Dr. Grown, my OBGYN.
"Good to see you again Alex.", Dr. G said as she walked into the exam room.
"Good to see you again too Doc. This is my sister Kara, she came for support.", I said to Dr. G.
"Very nice to meet you Kara, I'm glad Alex has someone to support her. Now let's take a look.", Dr. G said as she started up the sonogram machine. "Has your period been regular?", Dr. G asked.
"It has.", I said to Dr. G as I laid on the exam table and lifted my shirt so that she can use the sonogram machine.
"That's great. As long as everything looks good to go, you can start the hormone shots. I know you mentioned adoption being on the table as well. So it's up to you when you want to start the hormone injections. It just has to be before your next cycle or after.", Dr. G said to me.
"Yeah I remember you mentioning that the last time I came in here. I'm not exactly sure what I want to do yet. I'm doing an interview for an adoption agency in the next week or so. I want to see where that goes before doing anything. If they approve me right away and have someone for me to foster and eventually adopt right away then I might go down the route. It's a wait and see game at this point.", I said to Dr. G.
"There's no rush, so far everything looks great. I just want to see what your levels are in your blood and then we'll go from there.", Dr. G said with a smile on her face.
"Awesome, is that a wait until tomorrow thing or a now thing?", I asked Dr. G.
"Tomorrow, I'll call you personally with the results and go over some things with you as well.", Dr. G said as I was cleaning my stomach off and sitting up. "Alright you two are free to go and I'll call you tomorrow with the results. But you are healthy so I don't see anything going wrong.", Dr. G said as we followed her out of the exam room.
"Thanks Dr.", I said to Dr. G as I shook her hand.
"Nice to meet you Kara.", Dr. G said before she went off to her next appointment.
"Nice to finally meet you Kara. Keep up the great stories.", Kathy said with a flirty smile on her face as we walked passed her.
"Give her your number.", I said to Kara with a grin on my face.
"Shut up, Alex. It was great meeting a fan, Kathy, thank you for reading my articles.", Kara whispered to me then said to Kathy.
"You're welcome, Kara. Would you maybe want to get coffee sometime?", Kathy asked Kara with a shy smile on her face.
"She would love that.", I said, speaking for Kara before she could make an idiot out of her self.
"Great, here's my number text me a day that's good for you.", Kathy said as she handed Kara her number.
"I'll make sure she does.", I said as I dragged Kara out of the office.
"What just happened?", Kara asked once we got to my car.
"I believe someone just asked you out Kara Danvers.", I said to her with a laugh to my voice. "Told you she was flirting with you.", i said to Kara with a smirk on her face.
"This is all your fault.", Kara said to me which got me to laugh even harder.
"My fault how? I wasn't the one who was flirting back at her. That was all you little sis.", I said to Kara as she began to pout.
"I wasn't flirting with her either!", Kara said with a pout.
"Oh you so were flirting with her. It was written all over your face, you blushed and pushed your glasses up.", I said to Kara with a smirk on my face.
"I was blushing because she complimented me, how is that flirting? I do that with everyone!", Kara said to me.
"You do not blush when one of us compliments you. You only do that when someone has a crush on you. So in fact you were flirting. This had nothing to do with me little sis, this was all you.", I said to her with a laugh to my voice as she pouted.
"I still don't think I was flirting but whatever.", Kara said with a pout.
"Well you were and now you have to text her and set up a date with her.", I said to Kara with a smirk on my face.
"Is coffee really a date?", Kara asked me with a panic in her voice.
"It is Kara, anything really is a date when you have to get to know someone.", I said to Kara with a smile on my face.
"I guess, but when should I text her? I don't want to seem eager to see her so quickly. Should I wait until tomorrow or should I text her tonight and ask her out for tomorrow?", Kara said as she started to panic.
"Don't panic, just give it a few hours and then text her. Just do a friendly text, don't bring up going out right away.", I said to Kara.
"I can do that, are you heading to CatCo?", Kara asked me as she was paying attention to where we were heading.
"Yeah, Lena wasn't to do lunch with me.", I said to Kara with a smile on my face.
"I'm really glad you two have each other.", Kara said to me with a smile of her own.
"I am too, even if this doesn't work out with us we both agreed to be friends. So either way it'll be great to have her in my life.", I said to Kara.
"I hope it works out with you two. I would love Lena as a sister-in-law. I'm sure Eliza would love her as a daughter-in-law too.", Kara said to me with a smile on her face.
"Speaking of mothers', are you going to tell yours about your date?", I asked Kara as we pulled into the parking lot of CatCo.
"I guess I'll have too, she's never been there for any other dates that I've been on. It would be nice to have that bonding time with her.", Kara said to me.
"Good, I think she'll like it too.", I said to Kara as we got out of my car and headed into the building.
"I hope so.", Kara said as we got into the elevator and headed up to their floor.
"I'm sure she will, do you want to join Lena and I for lunch?", I said then asked Kara.
"No, you two go. Lena and I need to talk before we have lunch together. I'll give her some time to cool off then I'll talk to her.", Kara said to me with a smile on her face as she hugged me and then headed over to her desk. I headed towards Lena's office to find her on her phone talking with a client I assume.
"Sorry about that, was scheduling a meeting with an investor for a project with LCorp.", Lena said to me as she hung up her phone and walked around her desk to greet me.
"That's fine, at least I know you are working.", I said in a joking tone.
"Cute.", Lena said back with sarcasm and she hugged and kissed me. I swear sometimes she does things just to make me laugh.
"I thought you didn't want us kissing in the office?", I asked with a joking tone to my voice so she knew I was only teasing her.
"Eh, to hell with anyone who doesn't like it. Where would you like to go for lunch? Is Kara going to be joining us?", Lena said then asked me.
"Wherever you want to go, I'm not in the mood for anything in particular. No, Kara said she wants to talk to you before we do lunch with all three of us.", I said to Lena.
"I'm over being mad at her, I wasn't really mad per say. Just a little annoyed, but I'm over it. I'll talk to her later about it. Maybe tomorrow her and I can stop into the DEO? We can bring lunch.", Lena said to me as we were walking to the elevator to go get lunch.
"I think it'll be good for you two to talk. You both mean a lot to me, I would like if you two were on speaking terms. Lunch tomorrow with my two favorite girls, I can make time for that.", I said to Lena, the last part with a smile on my face.
"Two favorite? Are you flirting with me?", Lena said to me with a smirk on her face.
"Shut up Luthor.", I said to her with a joking tone to my voice.
"So I have this dinner gala with some important investors for LCorp, it's tomorrow night. Would you want to be my plus one?", Lena asked me when we pulled up to my favorite restaurant.
"Buttering me up with my favorite food in hopes I'll agree to come? That's dirty.", I said to her with a laugh to my voice.
"I am a Luthor, we always play dirty. You don't have to come if it makes you feel uncomfortable. I just figured it would be nice to have someone there that I actually enjoy spending my time with.", Lena said to me as we walked into the restaurant.
"I don't have anything to wear to a gala. You know my wardrobe doesn't consists of dresses, let alone really nice ones.", I said to her with a smile on my face.
"I'll have that taken care of just come to my place and it'll be there for you.", Lena said to me as we took our normal seat in the back of the restaurant.
"Spoiling me already?", I said to her as I blushed.
"I spoil the people I call family.", Lena said to me as or waitress came over with our usually food.
"Smooth, did you order our food before we got here?", I asked her as we began to eat.
"I did, get used to being spoiled.", Lena said to me with a smile on her face.
"I think I could get used to it.", I said to Lena as we were eating our lunch.
"So how did the appointment go?", Lena asked me.
"So far so good, I'll get the blood results tomorrow and hopefully it'll be a good to go. I also have a meeting with an adoption agency next week, maybe you could come with me?", I said then asked Lena.
"I would love that, I'll go with you to anything you have appointment wise.", Lena said to me as we were finishing our lunch.
"Oh so my little sister might have a date with a nurse from my doctors office.", I said to Lena with a smirk on my face.
"Why do I have a feeling you had something to do with that.", Lena said to me with a laugh to her voice.
"I didn't really, I just made Kara realize the girl was actually flirting with her.", I said to Lena.
"For an Alien with high intelligence she can be kind of dumb sometimes.", Lena said to me with a laugh to her voice which got me laugh as well; it is true my sister can be dumb with some things.
"That's Kara for you.", I said to Lena as I pulled my wallet out to pay for our food.
"Already paid for, put that away.", Lena said to me as she grabbed my hands and smiled at me.
"Geez woman, you're such a charmer.", I said to Lena as I kissed her hand.
"I just know how to treat a lady. Now let's get back to work.", Lena said to me as we walked to her car.
"Actually do you mind bringing me to my place? I have the rest of the day off I left someone in charge for today.", I said to Lena.
"Sure just going to relax?", Lena asked me.
"No, actually I'm going to clean my place so I can make you dinner later.", I said to Lena with a smile on my face.
"You don't cook, so in other words you are going to get take out, or hire someone to cook.", Lena said to me with a laugh to her voice.
"That may or may not be true.", I said to Lena with a giggle to my voice.
"You're lucky you're cute. I'll see you later?", Lena said then asked as we pulled in front of my building.
"I'll see you later.", I said to her as I kissed her before getting out of the car to head into my building.
