Chapter Four
The next time Felicity saw Supergirl on TV she realized that she is Kara. They looked way similar and Felicity realized Supergirl only ever showed up when Kara wasn't around. She noticed that Kara looked so beautiful and strong as Supergirl and she wanted to meet that side of Kara one day.
"Kara is Supergirl." Felicity said, wanting to get straight to it. Winn just stared at her for a moment, unsure of what to say. "What? No, that's impossible." He offered, shaking his head trying to play dumb and hoping Felicity would take that anwer. "She is. Have you not noticed the stunning resemblance between them both and how Kara is always gone when Supergirl shows up?" She began to explain, surely Winn had noticed, too, that Kara was Supergirl. "You have to promise to keep it a secret," Winn caved, "especially don't say anything to Kara, she'll think I told you and she made me promise not to say anything to anyone yet." Felicity considered the proposition, she didn't have to accept it because it's not like Winn would actually do anything. But she wasn't really a mean person so she agreed.
Felicity managed to go all day without saying anything else about it, she was actually quite proud of how long her restraint lasted. She had nothing else to really do while she was in National City so she just went to work with Winn every day. She sat with him at his desk, doing one of three things: watching him work, helping him work, or throwing small objects at him while he worked. It was getting near the end of Winn's shift and Felicity was sitting at Winn's desk, across from her. And Kara could see Felicity staring at her from the corner of her eye. She glanced up, catching her eyes for a second before Felicity looked away and covered her face, hiding the blush she knew was betraying her face. Kara made a note to ask what her deal was later when she wasn't busy doing last minute paperwork for Ms. Grant.
Winn, Kara, and Felicity decided to go out that night. It had been a particularly long and busy day at work and Winn and Kara wanted a chance to relax. They ran into James and Lucy while they were out so the all sat together at a random bar, that would later become their usual bar, and talked about simple topics. Lucy was the only one that didn't know about Kara being super girl, and Winn was the only one that knew Felicity knew, so no one was breaking open that topic. Yet.
Kara offered to buy the next round and Felicity offered to help her carry drinks. Kara was very aware of the fact they were finally alone and seized the opportunity to ask about earlier. "You were staring at me earlier," Kara started, she wasn't sure how to approach the topic so she just jumped right in. Felicity feigned ignorance and hoped Kara couldn't see through it. She tried to brush it off as nothing but Kara just kept staring at her, waiting for her to break. Felicity couldn't help herself, "You're Supergirl!" She blurted. She was like a teenager meeting their idol for the first time. Kara just stared at her, wide eyed, for a moment. "No-no I'm not." Kara stumbled, quickly glancing around to make sure no one overheard and then trying to make Felicity believe she wasn't Supergirl. "My hair isn't that blonde." She tried to defend, hopefully pointing out something specific, true or untrue, would get Felicity off of the trail.
Kara was never good at lying. So of course Felicity could see through the façade. She knew she was beaten and all she could do was make sure Felicity didn't tell anyone else. "Felicity, you can't say anything to anyone." Kara explained, she thought that by using her name she could hopefully get through to her. "Okay." Felicity offered. "You have to promise you won't say anything to anyone else, please?" Kara begged. "Yeah." Felicity replied. "I promise." She stumbled to finish, realizing Kara had asked her to promise and she knew how important promises were and she didn't want Kara to think she wasn't going to promise.
They carried the drinks back to their waiting friends. For the rest of the night there was so much awkward tension between Kara and Felicity. James and Lucy didn't pick up on it, but Winn definitely did. He eyed them suspiciously but didn't say anything about it. He almost thought that Felicity had maybe said something about Kara being Supergirl, but he dismissed that theory. Surely Felicity wouldn't have said something after I asked her not to, he argued. He didn't have a lot of other theories so he thought he may have just been imagining the tension between them.
There was something about Kara that Felicity just couldn't pinpoint. She was drawn to her, intrigued by her. Scientifically, Felicity thought that she may be attracted to Kara. But Felicity had never been attracted to women before and she was happily engaged to Oliver. It was probably just the fact that she's a superhero. Felicity always seemed to be intrigued by superheroes; Oliver, Barry, Laurel, Nyssa, etc.
After a few more drinks they decided to call it a night. James left with Lucy. So it was just the three of them left. It was courteous for a man to walk a girl home, but which girl would Winn walk home? They all had more than a little to drink. Kara could probably get home and protect herself on the way there and Felicity was from out of town so the risk was higher. But Winn would give anything to have an opportunity to walk Kara home. He was like a lovesick puppy around her. He should probably make a decision before they finish what little bit they have left of their drinks.
