Winn Loses His Shit:
The pain in his neck was causing Winn to consider tipping his head forward instead of where it hung to look up at the cave's ceiling. He didn't want to, he would have to see them then. Normally he would have work to complete and therefore could just avoid having to see them be so blind and obvious at the same time, he could avoid the mounting frustration and forget about trying to interfere. Unfortunately this was not one of those 'normal' times, it had been the slowest month for the DEO ever. No attacks, no emergencies, not even a stupid mugging. Good for the world, obviously, but bad for him.
Definitely bad for him. Now he had nothing to keep himself busy with and was forced to watch Kara and Alex almost violently gravitate towards each other but then at the last moment viciously repel again. It was painful to watch and he was forced to every day. Every day was the same interaction between them. Kara would come in with a brunch for her and Alex, Alex would be pretend she wasn't hungry while giving the blonde these praising looks, they would join the daily debriefing and afterword eat their food. Then the bedroom eyes came and their bodies were always 'magically' moving rapidly closer together until the moment one of them actually started making a move to kiss the other. Then either Alex would stammer some of the worst excuses possible or Kara would just simply be gone in the blink of an eye.
So now he watched as they were talking at one of the control panels, Alex leaning against it and both their eyes clearly meant for much more intimate situations. He felt his face twitch from frustration when Kara's hand moved an inch forward before it was dropped back to its side again. His brief flicker of hope for them yet again died there… except Alex leaned a little forward and he could see the determined expression she had. They were going to kiss, finally. Finally they would get together and be happy. He could stop always feeling annoyed and frustrated at work and be happy for them. It was going to happen, the culmination of years of devotion and love would topple over into what it was supposed to be, he could see them both lean in with fluttering eyes and he wanted to cheer, no force on heaven or earth would be able to stop them, and then…
Then J'onn happened. J'onn called them because the debriefing was starting and Winn felt himself die as Alex and Kara blushed and pulled apart having never been together. No kiss, no tipping point, no release for him from this prison. Just nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing… by this time his body was shaking with rage. They were so close and then J'onn had to come and fucking ruin it. He would have to sit through the same shit for months, possibly years, again. He would have to see the longing and pain they had. He would have to be annoyed and frustrated and pulling his hair out for months as he saw the same bullshit every day.
No. Just FUCKING NO! He will not endure another second of this shit for one moment. FUCK THE WORLD, FUCK LIFE, JUST… FUCK IT ALL.
Alex leaned away from Kara, she was so sure she would kiss her this time. She wanted to, she had wanted it for years. They just never got the right moment. Maybe next time. For now they had a debriefing to get to, a long boring-
Her head snapped to where the three gunshots came from as her hands pulled the gun and did the same. In fact every agent did the exact same and Kara even got into a fighting pose. What the brunette saw there did nothing to erase her confusion. An agent was slumped against the desk, knocked out cold, and Winn looked red with rage. His chest was heaving so much and the enraged glare he pinned her with made her want to swallow. The gun he had shot, probably taken form the unconscious agent, was still pointing to the ceiling before he jerkily swung it to aim at her. By this time she or anyone else would have shot but this was Winn, everyone was too shocked to move, even Kara. She had never seen him pissed before but even this looked to be more than normal anger. This looked like lots and lots of pent up frustration and rage surfacing.
"Win-"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP ALEX." He roared at her, "ENOUGH IS FUCKING ENOUGH! I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING ALMOST KISSES AND MOMENTS BETWEEN YOU TWO. I WILL NOT SUFFER THROUGH ANOTHER FUCKING DAY OF THIS BULLSHIT! YOU TWO FUCKING KISS EACH OTHER NOW!"
Alex was speechless along with everyone else, seconds that felt like years ticked by before she snapped out of her stupor enough to reply, everyone else still seemed to be frozen. "Winn. Just put the gun down and we can talk about this. There is no reason for-"
"YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS TO KISS HER BEFORE I SHOOT! I WILL NOT GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN! NOT EVEN MORE TIME!" She wanted to laugh, there was no way Winn would shoot anyone, right? "FIVE!" She had also thought he would never harm another person but he had punched an agent unconscious not even two minutes ago. "FOUR!" She was starting to consider that he would actually do it and where to shoot him without killing him. She was starting that thought but it ended abruptly when Kara's lips where on her. It was hard and rough for a split second before becoming gentle and tentative and finally becoming hungrier again. Her mind exploded when she felt Kara's tongue on her lips, begging for entrance. "FUCKING FINALLY!" She could have heard but her awareness past the body pressing against her had ceased to exist.
They only separated when J'onn cleared his throat causing a deep blush to bloom on them. Alex saw all the agents still frozen, guns aimed at Winn, but their eyes trained on her and Kara. Winn looked so happy and relieved in that moment that she had to wonder how long this was bothering him.
"FUCKING FINALLY YOU TWO! NOW, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE BUT YOU TWO HAVE THE REST OF THE DAY OFF! GO FUCKING TALK ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS AND YOU BETTER BE OFFICIALLY DATING BY THE END OF TODAY! EXCUSE ME WHILE I GET HIM TO THE INFIRMARY!" He threw the unconscious agent over his shoulder, even though the agent was at least twice as large before turning to J'onn. "AND YOU! I WILL NOT TOLERATE SUCH INTERRUPTIONS AGAIN! YOU CAN MURDER ME OR WHATEVER LATER." And with that he strolled off with a man on his shoulder and an entirely baffled room behind him.
Everyone who had been in that room that day or knew Winn personally had seen it affected him deeply. He took the temporary suspension, lots and lots of lectures from J'onn and mandatory anger management session with a smile. He also started calling people out on their bullshit, especially when it was to do with attraction. By the end of that year he had not only gotten Kara and Alex to get together but also Lucy and Vasquez, James and Mon-El the new guy. The next year he got J'onn and Eliza together and even went to confront Cat about who she liked. That had been quite the site. She had been sitting in her office when he walked in, ignoring the assistant, and scolded Cat for quite a few things. He got her to confess her feelings for Astra and to agree, more like submit, to contact and re-attempt to reconnect with Adam. All while everyone in the bull pen watched. Not even an hour later Astra, who no one could find for weeks, was in Cat's office confessing her love after recounting the story of how Winn harshly admonished her for hiding it.
He even got his own girlfriend in the end.
