Kara was excited. Yet another Thanksgiving was approaching, and this time many people would attend. She was holding a potsticker in her hand, eating it, while quickly pacing from one corner of her apartment to another.
"This might have been a bad idea," said Hank. He was one of the very few people present, waiting for the others to arrive. Next to him stood Eliza, while Alex was drinking a beer. Mon El, or Mike was sleeping on the couch.
Alex took another drink and approached her sister. "Hey Kara, can I talk to you for a second?" Alex asked.
"Sure, what do you need Alex?" Kara asked, putting another potsticker in her mouth, quickly eating it, and looking at her sister.
"Look, I wanted to come out to mom, but now with so many people present, I don't think I would be comfortable –" Alex said.
"Don't worry sis, we are all family and friends, you don't have to be ashamed," said Kara, hugging Alex.
The group heard a doorbell. Kara opened the door, and saw her cousin.
"Kal, it's great to see you," said Kara, releasing Clark from the hug.
"It's great to see you too, Kara. I must admit, I was surprised to get an invite. Normally Lois and I spend our Thanksgiving alone," said Clark. Kara then noticed two women standing next to Clark.
"Lois! Lucy! It's good to see you," said Kara, hugging the Lane sisters.
"Kara," said Lois, stepping in the apartment after Clark. Lucy followed. "I hear DEO has moved its HQ,"
"Right, I haven't expected them to have another base, this time in the city," said Kara.
"So, how's your relationship with James?" asked Lucy.
"Oh, James, James and I are friends. I thought we could be a couple, but I guess we haven't worked out," said Kara.
"Director Lane," said Alex.
"Agent Danvers," said Lucy as the two friends hugged. "How's life at DEO? Has anything interesting happened there lately?"
"Nothing much, just regular. We catch bad aliens, but I've been working with Maggie lately to solve alien related crimes," said Alex.
"Who is Maggie?" asked Lucy
"A friend," replied Alex.
"Yeah, great friend she is after breaking my big sister's heart. I still cannot believe you invited her to the party," said Kara.
"Sorry, I don't follow. What happened?" asked Lucy as Alex grabbed a nearby pillow, and threw it at Kara.
"Please ignore Kara. Maggie is a friend, and since Kara is allowed to bring her friends to Thanksgiving, even this Mon Ew," said Alex.
"Hey Alex, be nice to Mon El. He might be slightly a jerk, but he is really nice actually once you get to know him," Kara looked at Lucy, "Although don't take him to a bar, he will make you drunk. Just ask Winn."
Lucy laughed. "Will do. See you later," said Lucy. She walked to her older sister.
"What was that about Kara? Don't tell everyone about my secrets, and definitely don't tell them about my tragic heartbreak," said Alex.
"Look, I get it, but why still invite her," asked Kara.
"She is still my friend," said Alex.
"Whom I could easily throw into the Sun if she ever hurt you," said Kara, seeing Alex glaring at her. "Which I won't do. Like ever. Right, let's greet our new arrivals,"
Kara walked towards the door and opened it again. "Hi James, Winn. Thank you for coming. This will be greatest Thanksgiving ever!" Kara jumped into the air. "We can even do a game night,"
"Has Clark arrived?" James asked. Kara nodded. "Alright, see you later. I want to talk to Clark. I have something to tell you tonight as well," said James.
Winn looked at James and then two men looked at Kara. "Alright guys, what are you hiding from me?
"Um, nothing Kara. I will talk to you at the dinner, I want to drink some soda," said Winn. James also walked away to speak with Clark. Both men saw stares Alex was giving them.
"Alex, are you three hiding something?" Alex just grinned.
"You won't be amused, but watching your reaction would be priceless," smiled Alex.
"Excuse me, is this Kara Danvers apartment?" asked a teenage boy.
"Are you lost, little guy?" asked Alex.
"Carter," said Kara.
"Who is Carter?" asked Alex.
"Carter is my son," said Cat Grant, as she caught up with her son. "Sorry, I am not as young as I used to be,"
"Cat Grant? Kara you invited Cat Grant? As in the Cat Grant? Your boss?"
"Kara's former boss. And yes, I am that Cat Grant. Is there a problem, Agent Scully?" asked Cat
"If you treat my sister like you did all these years," said Alex, threatening.
"And what would you do?" Cat said, taking Alex on her bluff.
"I," Alex briefly was not sure what to say. She then pointed her pinky at Cat. "I know six ways how to make people talk using just this finger, and believe me, you won't be happy if I used those techniques on you,"
"Um, Carter, can you go speak with the hobbit over there. You can talk about some science things. I need to have an adult conversation with this woman," said Cat. Carter left and Cat switched her focus back to Alex.
"So, I didn't know that Agent Scully was into girls," said Cat
Alex froze. "What? Do you not expect me to hear what you can do with your fingers and not come out to that conclusion? Brazen,"
Kara's face was turning into a tomato. "Can we not talk about my sister? Cat, I am grateful that you arrived, for I thought that you would be quite lonely since you left CatCo, so I wanted you to be with people you know. Besides, you can ask James about the latest CatCo updates. Snapper is still a pain," said Kara.
Cat looked at James, and then looked around the apartment. "My, my, what a company we have here tonight. Oh, is this Kent? I have to speak to him. Wait a second, Harpy!" Cat began walking towards her ach nemesis.
"You got to admit, this party is quite fun," said Kara.
"Don't remind me. But really Kara, what were you thinking? Inviting Clark and Lanes is one thing, they are family, but Grants? What if Cat figures out your secret?" Alex said.
"Secret? Kara has a secret?" asked Lena, walking in the apartment.
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me! said Alex.
"So, what's the secret?" asked Lena.
"Oh, that. I am," said Kara as Alex began shaking her head. "Alex thinks that I am a puppy,"
"That, that was not what I quite expected, but I like it. It suits you, Puppy Danvers," said Lena. "Thank you for your invite by the way, I felt that I would spend it alone. Again,"
"Don't you have a meeting with your mother where you would think how to destroy the city?" asked Alex.
"I would never do that! I want to help the city, not destroy it. Believe me, I am a good Luthor," said Lena. She then ignored glares Alex kept sending her, bit her lip, and looked at Kara, while Kara's smiled, and looked back at Lena. Alex coughed.
"Oh, hey Danvers," said Maggie, as she arrived at the doorway, which was currently blocked by Lena and Kara staring at one another.
"Kara?" asked Alex, as Kara looked away from her friend. "Yes, oh, I know, I got to introduce you to Cat Grant, I mean she is like the most powerful woman in National City, and powerful women got to know one another, I think?"
"You are cute, Puppy Danvers. Lead the way!" said Lena. Kara then led Lena away.
"Finally," said Alex, looking at Maggie. "So, how have you been?"
"Doing great. I didn't know your sister also is into girls," said Maggie.
"Kara? No, Kara is not gay. Kara likes men," said Alex.
"But that attraction, they were practically having," said Maggie
Alex finally realized what her friend was about to say. "Don't finish that sentence. Just don't. Look, Kara is into men," said Alex.
"She can like both guys and girls," suggested Maggie.
Alex first looked at James, then at Lena, opening her mouth wide in realization of what Maggie was implying. "Oh,"
"Yup. You still have lots to learn, Alex Danvers," said Maggie.
"I know a lot, especially about science and medicine," said Alex.
"No, I meant about types of relationships," said Maggie as Alex opened her mouth wide again in realization of what Maggie was saying. Maggie laughed.
"You and Kara are good friends to have, although Little Danvers didn't seem to like me when you introduced us," said Maggie.
"Give her time. Kara is still upset about what you said to me after we kissed," said Alex.
"But we are cool, right?" asked Maggie
"Yes, we are friends," said Alex, taking a deep breath.
"Cool," said Maggie.
"And thank you by the way for coming here tonight, since I planned to tell my friends and family about me, but now I have reservations with Cat and Lena being here," said Alex.
"Oh don't be like that. From what I heard, Lena is Kara's friend, and I doubt that Kara would have invited anyone to this Thanksgiving party whom you would be uncomfortable to spend time with, so it shouldn't be scary for you to tell your friends and family that you are a lesbian," said Maggie.
"I, I think we better get to the table and close this damn door before any more people show up," said Alex. After closing the door, Alex and Maggie joined the others at the table. Eliza, Hank, and Kara were putting final food items on the table, with Kara carrying the turkey. Kara then woke Mon El.
"What time is it?" asked Mon El.
"Time to eat food," said Kara. Mon El happily jumped from the sofa and sat in a chair opposite to Kara's.
Everyone sat at the table. "I would like to make a toast for us all being here. It's nice that we all have others to spend this great holiday with us," said Kara. Everyone but Carter drunk some wine or beer from their glasses, with Carter drinking a soda.
"I am grateful for my opportunity to become a reporter. I originally thought that I shouldn't be a reporter, because I would be in my cousin's shadow, and instead follow my foster parents and sister's passion for science, but then I realized that journalism was my calling. So I worked at CatCo for three years before Miss Grant decided to provide me with an opportunity to become a reporter," said Kara, sitting down. Everyone clapped.
"Does anyone want to give next toast?" asked Eliza. "Feel free to share anything about your life."
Alex, James, and Winn instantly stood up. "I want to say something," said James. Alex glared at him. "Alright, I will let Alex speak first," said James. James and Winn sat on their chairs.
"I, have something to tell you all. I, well, this year has been enlightening and educational. Alex laughed, grabbing a glass of wine, and drinking half of the drink in it. "I, learned something new about me, something that has always been there, but I never really realized until this year. What I am trying to say is," said Alex, finishing the wine in her glass.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Kara and Lena looked at each other.
"I will open it," said Kara.
"Oh, hell no, nobody will interrupt my speech tonight," said Alex, walking towards the door. As she opened it, she took a step back, opening her eyes widely.
"Lex Luthor. Lillian Luthor," said Alex, taking another step back.
"Hello there Alex Danvers," said Lex. Most people except Carter and Mon El stood up from the table.
"Shouldn't you be in jail?" asked Alex.
"The charges have been dropped," said Lex, entering the apartment, with Lillian following. "I mean, I was innocent, what did you expect. Oh, and by the way, I find it intriguing that we share the name, and have a protective instinct towards our younger adoptive sister," said Lex.
"I am nothing like you," said Alex.
"We are also scientists," smirked Lex Luthor, as he then looked at the people in the room. "Ah yes, the infamous Clark Kent. You know, for a mild mannered reporter from Kansas, you write quite strong accusations. All false of course, but I don't hold grudges. You should take advice from young reporter Danvers. Even though she is new at reporting, unlike you Kent, she can do objective unbiased writing," said Lex, smiling at Kara.
Kara decided to take a drink to ignore Lex, and to try to avoid speaking to him, so that he would ignore her. "Ah yes, Lex, young Kara Danvers is so special, especially for capturing the heard of my young Lena. I really wanted to see my daughter's girlfriend," said Lillian.
Kara spat her drink all over the table.
"I, we are not, I mean," said Kara, "I like guys,"
"Oh for God's sake, you are Bi, Kara," said Alex, looking at her baby sister.
"Right. And how would you know about this?" Kara smiled like a puppy.
"Because I like women too. Wait a second. Damn it, this is not how I wanted to come out to my friends and family," said Alex.
Eliza stood up and hugged Alex, who was pouring yet more wine into the glass. Kara looked at Lena and smiled weakly. Lena smiled back. Cat saw this and glared at Lena, who saw Cat's glares, and the two most powerful women in National City were now glaring at one another.
"That's great, baby sister, I am proud of you," said Lex as he looked around, smirking. "I guess it's time for me to leave, I have work tomorrow, since I will be starting my new job tomorrow," said Lex
"Oh," said Lena.
"Don't worry, I won't take L Corp away from you, I decided to go into a more practical science oriented job," said Lex.
"I agree; your brother will be a great asset in my company. See you later Lena. Love you" said Lillian.
"Why did you even come? And how did you find me?" Lena asked.
"I wanted to see you, my daughter, since I wanted to share the good news of your brother's innocence with you in person. And Jess told me where you went," said Lillian. Lillian and Lex then left the apartment.
The dinner continued. Cat and Lena occasionally glare at one another. When Kara suggested they do a game night, both Cat and Lena wanted to be on Kara's team.
