"Kara, no."

"What was that? Kara, yes? I wholeheartedly agree," the woman in question replied with a mega-watt smile.

"I'm not in the mood, okay? Tonight was just brutal, I can't, ugh." Alex groaned trying to rub out the memory by pressing her eyeballs into her brain with her clenched fists.

"And do you think sulking on my couch will make you feel better? Answer: no; solution: you, me, out." Kara said with a firm nod of her head, already pulling the older woman to her feet and holding her firmly when she tried to slump back onto the couch.

"I do not sulk and I have work tomorrow, I can't possibly have to hit people with a hangover."

"We aren't going drinking, I just said we're going out."

Confused, Alex allowed herself to be led around the apartment, taking the coat handed to her before stopping in front of the large windows. Realisation dawned.

"Kara, no. This is not a good idea, people might see you!"

Her sister was already hovering in the air, clad not in her uniform but her brown cardigan, sweatpants and flats.

"Oh come on, it's late enough-"

"It's nine-thirty"

"-you need to stop sulking-"

"I do not sulk!"

"and get Katey or Kathy-"

"It's just Kate"

"-or whatever out of your head, and what better way to do that than a flyover on this beautiful nightscape that not even helicopters can compete with?" Kara moved back down closer to the window, reaching a hand out to Alex and waiting, staring right into her eyes, challenging and pleading all at once.

Alex worried her lip, thinking of all the things that could go wrong. She's a chronic worrier, always has been and always will be especially when it comes to her little sister –but, like she told Henshaw– There's no one else I trust more. So, she banished those thoughts and took her sister's hand.

Worth it. Alex decided at the sight of Kara's smile lighting up the dark.

Kara turned in the air, directing her sister's arms so that they are around her neck and Alex aligned her front to Kara's back.

The weightless sensation was strange yet familiar when Alex's feet left the ground. Even though it was years ago that the two went flying as children, Alex felt unafraid when all that stopped her from a splattering death was a blonde woman. And why would she be afraid? They did this years ago when the pair had only known each other for a few short weeks. She wasn't afraid then, she certainly wouldn't be afraid now.

Sighing, Alex nestled her chin into the crook of Kara's neck, feeling at peace, untroubled in the wake of her breakup. They flew quietly for a time, merely watching the city lights pass by.

"You know…" Kara finally spoke, breaking the trance Alex had been in. "I may be from another planet, and have little to no experience with romantic relationships, but I am here for you. I will always be here for you."

She tightened her grip on Kara as a warm fluttery feeling pervaded in her body and she tells herself it's because they were gaining altitude and speed. "And as I said, you've spent more years in the friend-zone than the Phantom Zone." Alex couldn't help but tease.

"Oho she's cool, isn't she cool?" Kara huffed even as her shoulders quaked in stubbornly suppressed laughter. "I was going to offer that I put her car on top of some cinder blocks but whatever." She shrugged, jostling Alex who laughed at the thought.

"But seriously Alex," Kara said sobering up. "If you ever need someone to come in and eat all your food and keep you company, I am a phone call away."

"You are incorrigible." Alex sighed as she pressed her cheek against the side of her sister's head.

The younger woman merely hummed, not at all apologetic.

They flew onward in companionable silence, matching smiles on their faces as they watched the city lights go by.

Alex couldn't help but think that she wouldn't mind doing this again. Just the two of them weightless in the air where all the troubles in the world could never reach them.

She wouldn't mind at all.
