"Supergirl! Nice of you to join us," came from an expectant-looking Alex, and J'onn J'onzz did his typical, "Glad to have you back, Miss Danvers." Kara had darted away from the news reporter's questions and gone straight to the DEO. She had no idea she had drywall in hair, but having her friends and family standing there with their arms crossed made her gulp. She's been covered in worse things like alien goop before, so she didn't think the drywall during the news report would be an issue.
"Umm guys, how's it going? Why is everyone looking at me like that? Is it because I had building materials in my hair or that I was having dinner with Lena because I do not want to give the 'Lena is good' speech again." J'onn's arms were crossed, Alex wore a look of concern that made Kara want to curl into a ball, Maggie looked like the cat who got the cream (no pun in intended), and Winn looked absolutely smitten and broke the mood by laughing hysterically.
Kara was a bit thrown off by their demeanor. Why is Winn laughing? Also, why does Maggie look like she knew I ate the last of the Christmas cookies? I mean I did, but Eliza said it was okay and Alex cut herself off, and Maggie is vegan anyway, but Maggie has that same exact—"
"Kara! I knew you were a lesbian! Or Bisexual, I don't care I just want everyone to know I called it first!" Winn jumped up from his chair with his arms up and proceeded to take a bow, "I'm going home, good luck with your gay-panic! I'm happy for you!" With that, Winn grabbed his cardigan and left the DEO, most likely to do some Guardian work that he thought he was being sneaky about. Meanwhile, Kara was standing there looking like a fish with the way her mouth was opening and closing.
J'onn was the first to speak, "Remind me to have that man drug tested. Supergirl, would you care to explain why you ran into several buildings on your way to the scene? Drywall in your hair wasn't an issue, but why did you run into buildings? Was there an incident on the way there?" Maggie wasn't even smirking this point, she wore a huge smile on her face while her girlfriend scanned the blonde. "J'onn there aren't any traces of kryptonite on her. Are you okay Kara? How do you feel? Do you feel any weaker? Did you see anything red," Alex went into full-blown big-agent sister mode.
Normally Kara would have been touched by how much her sister cares, but she was thoroughly confused at this point. "Guys I'm fine! I told you I was at dinner with Lena before I got the call. I changed and flew over to the site. I'm sorry about the buildings, I must have been distracted. I don't even remember flying into them on my way there."
"Dinner with Lena isn't new though. Do you think Cadmus could have done something to your potstickers?" Alex was already jumping to conclusions, then again it would be Cadmus, Lillian, and/or Lex Luthor to try and attack their beloved Kryptonian. Alex looked ready to declare war while Maggie seemed at ease.
"Where did you go for dinner Kara," the detective asked. "Noonan's, the usual," was the Kryptonian's response. "So how as dinner with Lena then?" Kara immediately lit up at Maggie's question, "Dinner was great! I always enjoy eating Lena. Although I do feel bad for having to run out on her nearly every time we eat. We haven't had a single uninterrupted meal this week. I know I can eat quickly," Kara gestures to her whole being, "Because duh, but Lena can't eat that fast. I'm not sure why anyone would want to eat kale. Maybe if she ate it faster it wouldn't taste so bad, but she likes how it tastes so that doesn't matter. What if she's trying to sneak kale into my potstickers. What?"
The blonde was unaware of her slip of the tongue while the others hadn't missed it. Alex looked somewhat appalled, J'onn looked relieved but annoyed, and Maggie looked the same as she did before. Alex sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, "You mean you like eating with Lena. I doubt she would try to hide kale in your potstickers Kara, you'd smell it right away anyways." Kara started blushing again and picked up one of Winn's action figures to mess with during this awkward conversation.
"Take it easy Little Danvers," the smallest woman chuckled, "What happened during dinner that could have caused you to be distracted enough to fly into buildings and not notice? It was obviously something Lena said or did." The Kryptonian woman would have been offended if it was someone else asking the question, but she thought about it anyway, the crinkle between her brows showing. "Lena mentioned she lost some shareholders because of the project she told us about," pausing to notice everyone nodding at her, "So I started saying how those shareholders were big jerk-faces and she's a good person. I don't know how many times she has to prove to everyone that she is good. She made the cube to save us from the Daxamite invasion, turned in her own mother, she's given us all the research her brother had on the Supers, and she's still looking. The shareholders don't know about the DEO, obviously, but she's done nothing but good! I don't understand why people can't get it through their skulls! A last name doesn't define who you are!"
"Kara! We all know about Lena. How did she react to your little speech?" Alex was desperately trying to get her sister back on track, the talk of food made her realize she hadn't eaten in over8 hours and she was exhausted from the long day. "Oh, right sorry! Lena seemed...she seemed fine with it. She enjoyed my comments and told me to breathe because I was rambling, but then she put her hand on my hand. Which is fine cause that's what normal people do right? I don't even know if she was saying my name to get my attention, so she probably just used touch instead," Kara rambled off some more, making the Ironman figurine bend in weird positions.
"Okay, and how did Lena's hand feel," Maggie asked causing J'onn and Alex to look at her like she grew a second head and Kara to snap Ironman in half. She nervously smiled, "Oh Rao, what? Why would that? I don't see how that's relevant to anything. Oh no, I broke Winn's doll! How much do these cost? I need to fix it before he gets back. Lena's hand was soft and warm, but it's not like it was freezing in the restaurant so that makes sense that she was warm. It felt nice though. I was bummed when she stopped, but it was fine. Oh Rao! I shouldn't be having thoughts like that about my best friend you guys! It's Lena! Oh no, now it'll be awkward because we touch each other a lot. I don't mind because it feels good and I don't want it to stop but isn't that weird. I mean I'm not gay or anything."
"On that note, I'll leave this up to you ladies. Kara, all I want is for you to be happy. I made a promise to your father and myself to keep you safe. So now that I see you aren't in any real danger, I am going to sleep. Good night ladies," J'onn said as he left. He could read minds and Maggie's was very calm because they both had an inkling that there were more than platonic feelings between the youngest Luthor and the Kryptonian, but Alex was more reluctant to believe that. Needless to say, her mind was extremely loud and J'onn needed to leave before the redhead had her own gay panic.
"Umm, that was weird. I never said I was unhappy. Does anyone else think that was weird? Alex what's wrong, your heart rate is a little off. Wait! Where are you going?" A mumbled "food" and "your apartment" was all that came from the older Danvers sister as she walked away from the other women. The blonde let out an exasperated sigh, "Maggie what's going on?"
The poor superhero honestly had no clue how oblivious she was and Alex is probably upset she lost her bet. "Oh, Little Danvers," Maggie said, "First, use your vision to fix Ironman and then change back into human clothes." With a gust of air and the brief sound of a laser, Kara was back in her workplace slacks, button-up shirt, and glasses. Maggie looped her arm through the younger woman's and pulled her so they were walking together, "Let's go back to your apartment and I'll explain everything over pizza and beer." Kara's crinkle was more prominent than it was earlier.
A/N: Poor Ironman, I laughed when that happened, because I can totally picture that happening and an "Oops sorry," coming from Kara. Let me know what ya think =]
