A/N: Hi everyone. Enjoy the chapter. Please review and comment. Please tell me of any suggestions for future stories or chapters.
"Wow, sounds like you're breaking up with me. Of course, we need to have dated first for that to happen." Alex laughed nervously, hoping she hadn't revealed anything.
"That's what I mean, you introduced us as friends, not foster sisters. It almost like you're leaving the option of us dating open without having to be worried about people judging us. And then there are all the times that I catch you staring and the times you seem to almost be angry at for talking to other women. Even the nervous laugh you gave now makes me think you want to be with me." Kara finished hoping Alex would be truthful.
"You're crazy! I don't stare or get angry at you for stuff like that. Besides don't you like that other guy." She deflected with a high-pitched voice, hoping the blonde would take the bait. She was silently cursing this permanent happiness thing, it made her heart sit on her sleeve. Fuck.
"No, I like you. I was going to tell you at game night, which I had cancelled, and turn it into a date." Kara said with so much force it surprised herself.
"You were!?" she yelled too excitedly to maintain a false pretence that she didn't have feelings for the blonde. "Why haven't you asked since then then?"
"Because powers are new to you, I don't want to sour this time for you if anything goes bad." The blonde finished with a sad smile, inwardly smirking that the brunette couldn't hide her obvious attraction and emotions anymore.
"Please ask me!" the brunette yelled attracting looks from people in the room. Blushing as red as possible for all the attention and for showing her emotions while begging the blonde to ask her out on a date.
Kara cocked her head to the side, suddenly hearing sirens in the distance. Her phone went off and she picked it up to hear Hank on the other side say an alien was spotted attacking CatCo. She got up and warned the new Kryptonian to stay put. Who responded with a pout. She quickly walked out into an alley, changed and flew to meet her foe. Alex stayed behind and pouted, pouted that she wasn't allowed to go with and that the blonde hadn't asked her on a date. She watched as the news interrupted what played on the television and showed Supergirl fighting an alien. She appeared to have the upper hand until the beast knocked her away with a passing car, smashing her through a building and leaving her in a disorientated heap. The brunette jumped up and ran out. She barely made it into the same alley before taking off. She flew as fast as possible into the sky and halted for a moment, spotting the alien she flew as fast as possible and punched it in the gut. It flew back a couple of blocks and landed in a crumpled heap. She was about to race over to the blonde when the blonde appeared beside her.
"Get back to the apartment now!" Kara yelled at her, terrified.
"What!? No!"
"NOW!" She yelled.
The brunette flew off in a maelstrom of tears. She couldn't understand why the blonde was yelling and her damn emotions were being increased exponentially. She flew to the blonde's apartment and lied on the bed and sobbed. Kara felt guilty for yelling at the brunette, she knew she shouldn't have but she was terrified that the brunette could have been hurt. She waited for the DEO vehicle to arrive and briefly spoke with Hank. Asking him advice for dealing with the agent. He told her to trust her instincts.
The blonde hero flew back to her apartment and entered silently. She floated to the bedroom and found a snivelling Alex with the curtains drawn. She was shocked to say the least, she had never seen the agent even close to tears. To find her after having sobbed out her heart in the dark was heart-breaking. She walked over to the brunette, picked her up and placed her on her own lap. She held her tight, refusing to let go even when the brunette struggled meagrely.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell. I was just so scared or your safety." She said while nuzzling the agent neck with her nose.
"I know. It just so different feeling so much. I don't know why I can't control it."
"Is that why the curtains are shut? So the sun won't affect your emotions for a while." Kara guessed. She felt a meek nod. Kara had to laugh at that. The brunette gave her an indignant look. "You'd have to avoid the sun for about a week for that to happen."
The brunette face crumpled at the new information. "I kept feeling better while sobbing, I didn't know what else to do." She said dejectedly.
"It's cute." The blonde laughed. She stood up and carried Alex out her room to the couch. Indignantly plopping her onto the couch with a snicker. She retrieved her phone and ordered food for them. She knew the brunette would eventually feel starving from her brief fight. She then plopped down next to the agent and pulled her into a cuddle. They started a show and were lost in it for a while.
The blonde turned her head and planted a kiss onto Alex's head. When the agent looked up with a shocked smile, she spoke.
"Alex, will you go on a date with me?" She smiled brightly.
"YES!" Alex screamed overjoyed. Curse the sun!
They had spent a few more minutes cuddled and before the food came and they ate. They spent the rest of the afternoon watching the telly. Winn showed up with the brunettes DEO uniform, now removed on any markings and a simple fabric mask to cover her face. The agent liked it, it was simple. It was her.
They spent another hour talking to him and finally parted. The next day the brunette woke up in Kara's arms again. She was loving the feeling of being secure in her arms, so she burrowed further in and went back to sleep. Kara woke up shortly after to find herself spooning the brunette again. This time she stayed however and enjoyed the feel of the woman in her arms. Tonight, on a Sunday, would be their first date. Kara had already planned what they would do, she was sure the brunette would like it. She finally stood up and left Alex to slumber more. She quickly got dressed and walked to the nearest market that would sell all the items she needed. She had also liberated a big box from her closet to hide the items. She made quick work of all she needed to do and counted in her head the things she needed to accomplish this afternoon. Tonight would be great.
Tonight would be the start of the rest of their lives.
