Chapter 4: About Last Night

Kara arrived at the DEO at 9:30am. She was nervous about what Diana had to give her. Alex and Lena were in the lab discreetly working on what she had asked them about earlier. She knew Mon-El was there but, she was avoiding him. She was pacing the DEO when she heard Diana arrive. Diana was dressed in black leather pants, a white V-neck shirt, and a black leather jacket. She had a motorcycle helmet in one hand and a Louis Vuitton duffle bag in the other. Diana approached Kara, "Is there anywhere we can speak in private for a few minutes?"

Kara nodded and took Diana into one of the offices. Diana put her bag and helmet down and stood there. The tension was thick, and everything was awkward.

"So…No, Wonder Woman suit today?"

"It's in the bag. It's usually worn for battle, not meetings. Do you always wear Supergirl outfit at the DEO?"

"Yes, it helps protect my identity."

"Right, because your glasses and wearing your hair down is so effective."

"It must be if you didn't know I was Supergirl." Kara said.

Diana scoffed, "Well, that's neither here nor there. I just wanted to give you this." Diana said pulling the pills out of her bag. "Barry, said he uses this with Iris for birth control. It's made for metahumans but, maybe it could be used to make something for you. I don't know if you are on any birth control or not but, I figured we shouldn't take a chance." Diana added.

"Yes, thank you. I have Alex and Lena working on something. This might help." Kara responded. Oh, gosh this was embarrassing. Doesn't this sort of talk happen before sex and not after.

"I apologize for last night. I didn't know that I was able to do that sort of thing. It has never happened before. I was a bit drunk and I never engage in sexual activities with someone who is already taken." Diana said.

"No, I should be the one apologizing. Things got out of hand. It was a mistake. It won't happen again."

Diana nodded and grabbed her things and walked out of the room. Kara thought it was a mistake and doesn't want it to happen again. Diana just didn't want it to happen again if Kara was in a relationship with someone else. Kara keeps making herself clear time and time again, she doesn't want you Diana.

Kara superspeeded down to the lab and gave Alex and Lena the pills and explained everything that Diana had told her about the pills. Which granted wasn't much. But, the two scientists would figure it out. Kara stayed down in the lab with Alex and Lena until it was time for the briefing. She didn't want to run into Diana and risk another awkward conversation and she definitely didn't want to run into Mon-El.

Meanwhile, downstairs Diana had wondered around looking at all of the different monitors and what the different agents were doing. The DEO had some advanced technology but, nothing compared to the Justice League. She wouldn't mention that though, she didn't need them to be on their radar. She heard someone approaching her from behind. She turned around and was face to face with Mon-El. Great, this was just what she needed, a conversation with him, especially after last night. She was sure that Kara hadn't told him because he would have been more upset than he appeared because he was smiling at her. Wait, why was he smiling at her?

"Hey." Mon-El said.

"Hi. Mon-El of Daxom." Diana replied.

"Very formal. I was just coming over to talk to you. I haven't had a chance since the debacle yesterday."

"Right. Well, I'm sorry if I offended you. I just have a different idea of what the strategy should be in this fight. But, Kara made it clear that this was her city and her fight."

"No problem. Kara never told me about you. But, I told her I am very open minded about people of the same sex being together. I'm also very fond of participating in such activities." Mon-El said with a smile and a wink.

"Well, that's very understanding of you. Wait, did you say participating? I don't understand."

"Yes, threesomes." Mon-El responded

"What is a threesome?" Diana asked.

"It's when three people get together to have sex. Let's say for example you, me, and Kara." Mon-El replied.

"Are you propositioning me for sex?" Diana scoffed.

"No, not unless you're interested. I am merely suggesting an activity."

Diana was angry. The nerve of this man, he had no couth. She didn't understand what Kara saw in him. She punched him in the face and he flew across the room. She quickly followed and stood over him, "If you ever speak to me like that again I will beat you within an inch of your life. Kara is trying to save your life and you are talking about threesomes with her ex-girlfriend. You're despicable."

By now the scuffle had caused a scene and she saw Alex, Lena, Winn, Kara, and J'onn staring at her. Kara rushed over and bent down to see if Mon-El was okay, "What happened?" Kara asked.

"Mon-El propositioned a threesome between you, him, and I. I was merely telling him how inappropriate that was." Diana responded.

Mon-El had the nerve to look embarrassed. Kara was infuriated, "What? I thought we had this conversation yesterday? When I kicked you out! I know you are still getting used to life here on Earth. But, that was inappropriate."

"I'm sorry." Mon-El said to Kara and Diana.

Diana rolled her eyes. He knew what he was doing and knew it was inappropriate. Kara seemed to be clueless when it came to him. So, she simply nodded her head and walked away. Maybe, this wasn't such a good idea helping. Yesterday she fought with Kara, had sex with Kara, and today she is fighting with Mon-El. This is too much drama for her. They didn't have this much drama on Themiscyra and it was an island full of women!

Soon everyone was standing around the console for the briefing and J'onn begin. "It appears the alien ships have begun opening and they have sent scouts out. We received a message for Kara to meet Rhea tomorrow morning at 8am, and to either turn over Mon-El or the war will begin."

"Then I will meet her and fight her. We will need people around to protect the civilians. Lena, the device is ready and fully functional right?"

"Yes, it is ready. I will give you the remote to trigger the device, if necessary." Lena responded.

Kara nodded her head.

"Wonder Woman we will need you on the streets fighting her army. I'm sure this meeting is a distraction and she will deploy her army while she is fighting Supergirl. I don't think she will stop even if we turn over Mon-El." J'onn stated.

"No problem." Wonder Woman replied.

"Well, that's all. Everyone go and rest up and prepare for tomorrow." J'onn said, effectively dismissing everyone.

Kara needed to go to CatCo and turn in a couple of assignments. When she was about to take her leave Alex stopped her, "Wait, we should have that thing ready for you within a couple of hours. You can drop by and pick it up then. We will text you when it's ready."

"Thank you, Alex."

Alex and Lena headed back to the lab.

Lena was the first one to speak, "I can't believe Mon-El would have said that to Diana. Kara thought he just didn't know any better. But, I think he did."

"I am pretty sure he did as well. Hopefully, things settle down after tomorrow. I don't know what's going on in Kara's head. I wish she would talk to me." Alex said.

"You talked to her last night and this morning. She needs time to process and she will talk when she is ready. She is trying to figure things out. This can't be easy for her, easy for any of them. Then on top of the relationship drama she has to fight Mon-El's crazy ass mother."

"Yeah, you're right. She has to figure this out on her own and all we can do is be there to support her whatever her decision is."

Lena simply nodded and went to back to working on the pills.

Kara received a text later that day from Alex telling her that the pills were ready. She flew straight to the DEO and walked to the lab. It was only Alex there, Lena must have went to work at L-Corp.

"Hi Alex." Kara said.

"Hey."

"So, we made a morning after pill so to speak and it's the blue pill. Your birth control pill is the white pill." Alex said pointing to the two pills lying on the table.

Kara picked up both and swallowed. She wasn't taking any chances, she just couldn't have a baby right now. Maybe, in the future. But, she was still young and had only been doing the Supergirl thing for a few years. She was just getting started out as a reporter. She wanted to wait at least a few years to have a baby.

"Thank you, Alex. I really appreciate it. I'm sorry for being so stupid and getting in this mess."

Alex shrugged, "That's what big sisters are for. To help you clean up the messes. But, next time be more responsible. Here is a 30-day supply of birth control and a few morning after pills. Be careful. I feel like we should have had this conversation years ago."

Kara laughed, "Yeah, probably. But, you know I was awkward and a late bloomer. It's not like I was doing a lot of dating. Geez. I really made a mess of things."

Alex laughed. "Yep, you sure did. Do you have any idea how you're going to fix it?"

Kara sighed, "I haven't thought about it. I'm just trying to make it through the fight tomorrow. I care about them both. I wasn't looking for a relationship especially after the James situation and Mon-El just kind of happened. I definitely couldn't stand him at first but, he grew on me. Diana, I loved her from the start. I still love her. But, I know I've hurt her and it's a lot to repair with her. But, then it's also things that Mon-El and I need to work on. I know deep down who I want but, I'm afraid to admit it. It means that I'm doing all of this for nothing. This fight is in vain and I don't know if I can face that."

"No, Kara. You care about Mon-El and he is trying to be a hero and be better. You have to try to save him. It's the right thing to do. Especially, if you really only see him as a friend. If it were Lena, Winn, or James you be doing the exact same thing. You care about people, you protect people. You were trapped in the Phantom Zone and you don't want to subject anyone else to that fate. You know what it was like. You don't want him lost in oblivion."

Kara nodded her head. "I guess I should go spend some time with him before tomorrow and I can figure the rest out later."

Diana had decided that she had needed to train and let off some steam. She went to the Justice League Hall where they had training rooms. No one was there but, her. She trained for hours trying to forget last night and forget the ache in her heart. She hadn't felt like this since Steve and even then, she hadn't felt her heart break like this. Diana decided that she would fight this battle and then leave. Kara told her it was a mistake, Kara left her before. Diana wasn't a sadist and didn't believe in torture. But, staying here in National City while Kara was with Mon-El would be torture for her. She would leave and head back to Paris tomorrow night and try to move on with her life.
