*tap* *tap* "Is this thing on, oh right yes, hello there, well then, here we go then I guess."

"There is a secret test hidden within the SAT, this test does not measure a student's aptitude for reading writing and arithmetic. It measures a student's innate ability to lie, cheat, fight and kill. Those who score well are recruited into a secret para military academy. Some call them seductresses, some call them spies, only fools call them innocent, they call themselves the D.E.O (Department of Egregious Operations). Sent in for the most dangerous of missions when all else fails, they are the elite, best of the best, the only thing standing between you and…well... *cough* whatever's on the other side..."

*WubWubWubWubWub*

"Ugh five more minutes pleaseeee Hank!" Kara cried out as she hid her face back beneath her pillows blocking her ears from the obnoxiously loud house alarm.

*WubWubWubWubWub*

"UGHHHH make it stop! Rao, please I'll do anything!"

*Bang Bang Bang"

"How about getting up Kara?" Alex replied, smirk full force as she waltzed into the room, swinging open the door.

"I'll do…anything except…that?" Kara said as she peeled her face from her pillowcase and opened an eye to see Alex already fully dressed for the day and ready to go.

"Up. Now. We can't be late, Hank is waiting" The brunette orders wrestling the bed covers from her sister's vice like hold on them, depositing them far away from Kara's reach.

"Noooooo" came muffled from the pillow that was once again covering her face.

"Karaaa…. come on please! We are going to be late again…and…and.. there will be breakfast!" Alex tempts proud of herself for remembering that vital detail. The pillow is slowly lowered from the pouting face, two ocean blue eyes snapping open at full attention, ears alert.

"Noonans?" Kara asks her counterpart suspiciously eyes squinting in the morning light.

"Noonans… but only if you promise to get up now, and I mean now Kara" Alex replies fixing her with a stare and a pointed finger before walking out to rouse the others from their beauty sleep. Finding no need to look back knowing fully well her bribe worked. There is no way her sister will be able to resist the syrup soaked pancake stack at her favourite diner in National City.

Kara watches her sisters retreating form slowly sitting herself up, checking the time, and releasing a massive yawn, stretching her arms high above her head before flopping back down listening to Alex already shouting at the others down the hall way.

"It seems Sara had another successful late night" Kara chuckles to herself, watching upside-down from her bed as this week's poor stranger is pushed from Sara's room attempting to pull on trousers whilst running past her door, and away from Alex's wrath.

She then spots her last housemate Maggie exiting Alex's room and gives a small wave and bright smile receiving a similar one in return.

"Alex where's my gun?" Maggie shouts fumbling with her shirt buttons as she walks down the upstairs landing back to her own room.

It seems as if she was the only one who didn't have any 'company' last night. Instead she spent the night listening to Mon Hell *cough* El, Mon El (her now EX-boyfriend) drone on about 'how they were just such a good couple', 'meant to be' into the early hours of the morning.

She's just glad that she finally had the courage to end it. It had been doomed to fail since the beginning, she isn't quite sure why she let it carry on for so long now?

He just didn't give her any of those 'feelings'. Feelings of exhilaration, wonder, butterflies, there was no passion or…excitement… it was just…easy.

And love for sure wasn't meant to be easy, if it was then everyone would give it a go, wouldn't they? If It's easy then it's boring, and that means there is nothing worth left fighting for, like her situation now.

To be in love was an irrational commitment, when total fear equals interest. At least that's what she heard about it, not that she had much experience in that department, ya know...true love (if you believe in that sort of thing). But alas, she was a romanticist at heart, in love with the idea of love, to find that special someone… and well it was safe to say Mon El wasn't that for her so it had to end.

"Kara, yeah she is here I will just pass the phone to her now" Alex winked at her covering the phone "try not to be too long it's Mon El." Before Kara could fake her own death or at least some sort of heart attack the phone was in her hand and Alex was retreating from the room to find Maggie's gun.

"Heyyy Mon El, I'm ah..a.. bit rushed for um time at the moment, I er think I'm just gonna have to get back to you, It's really not a good time..? she stuttered sitting up suddenly fully awake.

"10….9…" The voice of Henshaw can be heard over the speaker system.

"When, when is going to be a good time Kara, I feel like your ignoring me? Are you ignoring me because that would be absurd, right?" Mon El's shrill reply came down the phone, cutting Kara's thoughts off as she had a full body cringe.

"Ignoring you, ha..ha-he.. me? Nooooo I'm not er avoiding you? Of course not, what..um..what gave you that impression?" Kara stuttered out as she started fiddling with her glasses, struggling to attempt to do up her shirt buttons with one hand.

"8…7…"

"The missed calls, and texts, and emails Kara, after all we have been through together and you just ended it, no warning? What does this mean? I don't understand?"

"6…5...4.."

"Look I er really really have to go, the others are gonna leave without me otherwise, we can talk about this later…at some point, I already explained everything last night, It's for the best really!"

"3…2…"

"For the best? HOW could this be what's 'for the best' It certainly isn't what's the best for me and It can't be what's the best for you as that would be to be with me….Kara are you listening?" Mon El pauses his rant hearing the muffled curses and banging on the other side of the phone as Kara trips shoving everything into a bag.

"Ok that's great Mon El, I'm glad we could sort this out... and put this behind us like adults…see you around, I..er.. bye now..bye!" Kara hangs up the phone quickly tossing it on her bed whilst running down the stairs juggling all her belongings around earning a disapproving look from Alex.

"..1…0"

"And what time do you call this mini Danvers?" Maggie smirks at Kara as everyone convenes in the front hall clearly waiting for just her as she blushes bright red, fixing her hair, out of breath from tripping down the last step.

"shall we" Alex sais raising an eyebrow, shaking her head in a disapproving stare at the others. Whilst also shooting her sister a worried glance. She gestures outside holding the front door open, counting them off as they go.

============== In the car on the way to Noonan's ==============

"So..I..er..I broke up with Mon El" Kara sighs into the car.

"Yessss!" Sara exclaims fist pumping, "Damn" Maggie grumbles her forehead crinkling as she hands over her last $20 note.

Alex eyes them in the rear-view mirror giving them a very pointed look as they sink into the seats, reminding them of the last time she caught them betting. They would definitely be having a 'chat' about this later.

"I'm sorry Kar, d..do you want to talk about it?" Alex asked eyeing her sister carefully in the passenger seat.

"No…I'm ok I think.. It was my idea. *sigh*...just please don't hand me the phone next time" Kara mumbles into the silence giving Alex a half smile to reassure her.

"Just remember I'm here if you need to talk, okay?" Silence envelops the car, Kara decides it's too much and reaches to put on the radio to drown out the loud hum of the car's engine.

"Come on Eileen

Too ra loo ra too ra loo rya aye

And we can sing just like our fathers"

Alex starts tapping the wheel, turning up the volume, just as Maggie starts humming along to the tune. Kara can't help the small genuine smile that's creeping back onto her face, she is starting to get the feeling that everything is going to be just fine with these lot around.

"I hate to break it to you Kara but I always thought that mama's boys one true love was staring back at him this entire time…. through the mirror…" Sara exclaims rather offhandedly trying and failing miserably to keep a straight face.

It only took one slight snort from Maggie who was trying desperately to hold in her laughter to set all the others off.

"Come on Eileen, oh I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah, come on Eileen"

Soon the sound of laughter enveloped the entire car as the other girls took turns making jokes, ribbing Mon El and singing along to cheer Kara up on the way to the diner to meet with the boss man Mr Hank Henshaw.
