Notes:

Never written a fighting scene before i hope it works ok.

Lena was now flanked by Alex, Kara and Kate, to anyone watching they would have thought that Kate and Alex were protecting the two women, but Kara had slipped behind Kate and Lena so that she was protected on all sides. Alex was frustrated and annoyed, she had finally found herself in a position where she would be able to kiss Lena, to test the waters without there being a issue, after all she was doing her job if it went badly, and now this distraction ruined it. Alex watched as four masked individuals entered the party all with guns and shoved the security guard forward onto the floor. "We have no intention of hurting the fine citizens of National City we just want Lena Luthor, hand her over and there will be no need for any problems"

Alex and Kate shared a look before they moved forward slightly, Kate had been in the military and there was clearly a conversation going on between them un-seen by the rest of the world. Kate had slipped her hand inside her cuverbun and pulled out a small bat shaped piece of metal. Alex nodded and she threw it towards the men with guns, it lodged itself in the wall and Alex looked at her, she was supposed to be a vigilante with cool weapons and military training and she had missed everything, Kate just smirked at Alex, dipped into her bun again and took out a small bat with a button on it. On pressing the button the path that the small bat took and the entrance way filled with red smoke obscuring the men's view, and the women in the middle. All of the guests had turned and ran towards the other end of the room, and Kara using a burst of super speed, ran through the smoke and relieved the men of their guns dumping them under a table and returning to her position as the smoke cleared. The men standing pulled out a variety of other weapons that they were carrying, one had a dual baton, one a very large knife, one simply slipped some brass knuckles over his hand while the last Alex released has at least one concealed gun and was just standing there.

The man stood at the back placed his hands on his hips and looked at Alex and Kate who still stood protectively in front of Lena and Kara. "I knew that she would be here, Lena does seem to have a difficult time staying away from her, but I am surprised that I see you here Kate, this isn't your normal haunt, and Agent Danvers a little too high brow for you isn't it?" All the women recognised the voice; Henshaw was clearly leading this which means that Lillian was at the centre of this somehow. Kate and Alex stood firm until the men came forward, Alex slid through the leg of the man coming at her with a large knife and grabbed a serving plate off the table as she stood using it as a shield of sorts she deflected the attack with the knife. Kate had placed two cuffs around her wrists that morphed into her normal arm protection and took on the baton wielding maniac. Deflecting his blows off her forearms and getting in some good sweeps and kicks.

Alex looked up just in time to see the Man with knuckle dusters heading towards Lena, Logically Alex knew she was safe with Kara but her protective nature spurred her on, she kicked the man in front of her in the stomach causing him to hunch, using him as a prop, she rolled over him and kicked the chair directly into the path of the man stalking forward, being tangled in the chair gave Alex just enough time to catch him across the head with the tray. While Kara using her freeze breath caused the man with the knife heading towards Alex to fall, Alex turned to see what had happened and smiled at her sister. Punching the man she had just hit with the tray, rendering him unconscious. She looked up at Lena who was smirking at her and shrugged smiling shyly.

Kate had caught both batons and was using them to position the man flipping her legs up and over around his neck before bringing him to the floor throwing Alex a small bat to restrain the man on the floor. Alex placed the bat on his wrist and pressed as it turned into adequate restraints. Henshaw had expected the super but not the others, he was not going to be able to take Lena unless he could even the field he opened a small box in his pocket and a faint green glow emanated from him. Lena had been watching the fighting and was glad that Kara had helped Alex she was for a moment vulnerable while trying to protect the invulnerable to maintain Kara's identity. Lena knew what that glow meant, Kara was about to be in trouble, she glanced around looking for her bag the shield was a prototype and wasn't with her, but if she could get to her phone she could have the lexosuit bring it, Lena could see Kara getting sick from the Krypronite and started pulling her away looking at Kate. Kate managed to take the baton guy down and was slowly rendering him unconscious, however when she saw Lena's face and her eyes flash to Henshaw she knew that finesse was gone. With a few punches and a bat restraint, Kate was free of the man, grabbing the batons she charged Henshaw.

Kara could feel the Kryptonite draining her, there were as far as she could see two men down, and Alex was working on a third, Henshaw was the treat but she couldn't get near him, as he stalked forward Kata had charged him, "NOO" Kara had screamed knowing just how powerful Henshaw was. Lena pulled Kara away from the floor, surprisingly easy now she was weakened, finding her purse Lena got to her phone and with a few swipes had sent the commands, in moments the left arm of the Lexosuit was with Lena and the small disk it was carrying was pushed onto Kara's chest, there was a shimmer and Kara instantly felt better, Lena mouthed sorry and smiled before turning back to see Kate flying through the air into Alex, who had subdued the man she had been fighting with and was about to help Kate with Henshaw. Lena fired the Lexosuit at Henshaw knocking him back through the wall, Henshaw shot a laser back at Lena who tried to deflect it with the Lexosuit arm, instead it shorted out and Lena dropped the arm on the floor.

Henshaw stood and realising that everything had not gone to plan he shot a beam at Lena, Alex anticipated it and had dove in front of Lena, getting caught on the back of the shoulder as the Laser hit, Kara nodded to Kate for a distraction and she used a smoke bat to create a wall between the civilians and them. Kara blurred as she ploughed into Henshaw knocking him unconscious before returning to Alex. Lena was holding her genially in her arms "Alex, it's ok, you're going to be ok" Kara looked at Lena and smiled shyly, "we can talk about all this soon ok but I need to get her to the DEO, Kate do you have something strong enough to hold Henshaw?" Kara Scooped up Alex and flew out of the window towards the DEO.

Lena walked over to Henshaw and took the Kryptonite out of his pocket and closed the lid back up, putting it in her purse. Leaving Kate to restrain Henshaw she went to the guests, and calmed everyone down, there was no one hurt and in general most of the individuals were un-phased by an attempt on a Luthor. The evening was drawn to a close; DEO agents arrived to collect Henshaw and his men, they took Lena and Kate with them for a Debrief, and to see Alex. On arrival at the DEO Kara was pacing out front, she grabbed Kate for a hug and kissed her deeply the moment that she got out of the car. Giving Kate the once over with her x-ray vision. Kate chuckled, "I saw that, I am ok Kara, I am going inside I think that you need to have a little talk with your best friend" Kara looked over at Lena who was just sliding out of the Black SUV. She stepped forward pulling Lena into a hug, Lena simply wrapped her arms around Kara and smiled.

Kara started to cry and Lena pulled her back looking into her eyes, "none of that Kara, there isn't any need, I know you were listening earlier, to Kate and I talking and well I know I said as long as it served a purpose I would allow it to continue but I was not going to watch you get hurt again, not when I had this" Lena tapped the shield and smiled. Kara looked at Lena and smiled a little before sniffing "you cost me $50" Lena Laughed and then looked at Kara, "you bet against me?" Kara blushed brightly, "well no, um yes I guess, I don't know I bet that, well that I was sneakier than people thought, and that you didn't know that I, well I hadn't messed up, you're not mad at me?" Lena pulled Kara in for another hug stroking her hair "I haven't been for a really long time Kara, I could see that you needed me, see you, as much as I needed you, just to see Lena and I couldn't be mad at you for that, that I completely understand"

Kara and Lena headed inside the DEO heading towards the med bays, Lena was nervous and picking at her fingers, Kara looked over at her. "She is fine Lena they are just stitching her up and then we can take her home" Lena continued to walk around nervously it wasn't the injury or even the waiting that was causing the nervousness, Lena was thinking about what could have been, what almost was. She wondered if Alex would have followed through if she would have kissed her, she was imagining it, she hadn't let her thoughts go that far before because she is Kara's sister and a government agent and up until tonight Lena thought not in the least bit interested. Lena has really enjoyed her date, and would have very much liked the kiss too. Lena bit her lip and looked at Kara. "You were right you know I did have a good time, well until the party crashers" Kara smiled back at her friend and nodded, "oh I saw you were having a good time Lena, just a moment longer and you may have been having a great time." Lena blushed and looked away and Kara couldn't help but smile if it hadn't been for the arrival of Henshaw that could have been the perfect set up.

Kara went in first and saw Alex giving her a light hug and making sure she was ok, Alex had a minor concussion, some cuts and bruises but the main damage was the laser to her shoulder Luckily it hadn't done any permanent damage just a few weeks to recover and then she would be as good as new. Kara mentioned that Lena was outside, that she had been worried and Alex strained to try to get a glimpse in the waiting area. "I am the one with X-Ray vision Alex not you" Kara swatted her sister, and laughed. Was Alex expecting to see through the wall or something, she was clearly eager to see Lena. "Is she ok Kara, the first guy almost got her and then Henshaw was going to I was scared she was going to get hurt" for the first time Kara realised that Alex didn't just like Lena, Alex was falling for her. A broad grin spread across Kara's face and she hugged her sister hard.

When Lena finally gets to go into the room to see Alex she is really nervous, she walks in eyes cast down and makes her way over to the bed. "Alex I am so sorry that my crazy family and I have caused a problem, again, I was having a really nice time tonight before they busted in and I am so sorry that you got hurt because of me" Alex looked at Lena, she seemed fragile, blaming herself as normal for the actions of those around her and feeling bad because Alex got hurt. She would do it again a hundred times over to ensure that Lena was ok, to see one of Lena's smiles the kind normally reserved for Kara, Alex had earned a few now and she wanted to see more. She had wanted that kiss that was interrupted but the moment was gone. "this wasn't because of you Lena I was just doing my job" Alex had intended for these words to make Lena feel better to know that Alex didn't blame her for what her family had done. Lena had of course taken this in a completely different way, and thought that Lena herself was inconsequential to the scenario and that Alex would have behaved the same and done her job regardless. "yes, of course Alex, you did your job fantastically, no one would have ever known that you were an agent until the fighting, still I am sorry that you are hurt, I hope you feel better soon" Lena turned and left so quickly Alex was left staring at the door mouth open. Lena didn't stop she just walked straight out of the DEO.
