Previously...
When I got home from actual work at the DEO and play-work at CatCo, my alien ears heard a series of sounds, escaping from Alex's apartment. Rushing over, I looked to see what the issue was. I made it to her room, and the sounds clarified as moans. I used my x-ray vision, and saw the scene that I never expected...
The top three buttons on Alex's shirt were unbuttoned, and the person she was with, was topless. I saw the dark hair of the person, and the toned muscles. Winn. Winn and Alex. My best friend, and my sister.
"I know you're there, Kara." Alex yelled out. I flew out the window, and flew around until I was calmed down enough. I knew what she was doing, and my best friend was going to get hurt in the end. I was not going to let it happen.
I knew I couldn't go back to my apartment, because she would go there, in order to talk to me. I flew to Max's house and knocked on the door. He walked over, and I looked at the sleepy expression on his face.
"Hey," he said, "What's wrong?" he asked, looking at the pained expression on my face.
"Max, it's Alex. She's dating Winn." I said.
"And this is bad, why?" he asked.
"Because, she's using him. She's only doing this to prove that us dating is not bothering her. But it is." I said.
"So, and please don't take this the wrong way, but why did you come here instead of your apartment?" he asked.
"Because she would go there, and she would start yelling at me, and asking if I was mad or not. She would try and make me feel guiltier than I am already."
"Okay, so the answer is simple." he said, and part of me wondered what he was thinking.
"What?"
"Move in with me." he smirked. I nearly fell over in my seat. He just asked me to move in with him.
"Wai-wait. Are you serious? You really want me to move in with you?" I was so in shock, that I didn't know if I was dreaming, or in reality.
"I wouldn't have asked, if I didn't mean it. Kara, how many times do I have to tell you? No matter what Alex says or does, I love you. With all my heart, I love you." he said, and the tears moved from my eyes down my cheeks.
"I love you too. No matter what she does. And you know what, if she thinks she can make us feel guilty about our relationship, she's wrong. I love you, and I don't care who knows it." I said, confidently.
"Well, you still haven't answered my question. Kara Maria Danvers-"
"My middle name isn't Maria."
"I know. Kara Danvers...will you move in with me?" he asked.
"Yes. Just let me go grab my things." I said, before kissing him and flying off. As soon as I landed on my balcony, I ran inside, packing everything in sight. My pictures, my clothes and everything else that was mine. By the time I was done, I had five suitcases full of belongings. Making the trip back to Max's was difficult, and I was scared I was going to drop a suitcase on someone's head. But I didn't. I made my way back, and walked up to the front door. He answered it and kissed me, before bringing my suitcases up to the master bedroom. This was going to be an interesting new routine.

After about three hours, I had settled in and was relaxing in bed. Max opened the door, and was changed into a grey shirt with sweatpants. I thought for sure he would wear suits to bed. But no, he looked like a regular person.
He climbed in, and the sudden warmth made me feel safe. It gave me security, and made me feel loved. It was a feeling, that I couldn't describe. I just felt complete. I set my glasses and my book down on the side table, before snuggling into the sheets. Max turned the light out, and snuggled into the sheets next to me.
All of a sudden, I felt an arm wrap around my waist. I snuggled closer to him, and before I knew it, he was sound asleep. I was exhausted too. Between work, play, and sisterly drama, I had a rough day. Before I was ready, I drifted off to sleep.
Waking up, had never been so amazing in my life. I woke up, still warm and comfortable, with Max laying beside me. His arm had not left my waist all night, and I liked that it was still there. I rubbed my eyes, and checked the time. I had a few hours before I had to be at CatCo, so I was going to make the best of it. I turned around, careful not to bother Max, as I flipped over to face him.
His face was so relaxed, and it was hard to resist. I gave in, and kissed his cheek.
"Took you long enough." he mumbled.
"How long have you been awake?" I asked, surprised.
"Maybe a half hour. I wanted to see what you would do, if you thought I was asleep. I liked it, thank you." he said.
"My pleasure. I enjoyed it too." I smiled.
"Want some breakfast? I've got some double chocolate chip muffins, if your interested." he said, and my eyes popped open, and I smiled. Jumping out of the bed, I pulled him with me, and I raced us both down to the marble kitchen.
"Easy. I knew you liked chocolate, but I didn't think you would get into a frenzy over it." he laughed.
"Don't mess with me and chocolate."
"Anything else I should be concerned about?" he asked.
"Uhhh, potstickers, pizza and the occasional ice cream." I said, and he chuckled.
"That's my girl." he laughed, before walking to the fridge and bringing out a basket full of double-chocolate chip muffins. I nearly screamed before taking one.
"Don't eat it too fast, you'll get a stomach ache. Or is it different with you aliens?" he joked.
"No. If it was, I'd be fat by now." I said.
"I hope you do get fat one day. Just after we're married, and not because of food ingestion." he said.
"You want children?" I asked.
"Of course. I've always wanted a little boy or girl." he said.
"Wow, who knew Maxwell Lord wanted a child? And here everyone thinks you're a narcissist."
"Kara, we all know that's not the names people use for me."
"Yeah, but my mommy told me not to talk like that." I said, and he burst out laughing.
"Makes sense. She seemed like a reasonable woman when I met her at Christmas." he said.
"Yeah, she usually is." I replied.
"Yeah. We should probably start getting ready for work. You have to get to Lord. Tech, and I have to get to CatCo and the DEO-"
"Whoa, are you sure? Even with Winn and Alex?" he asked.
"It's not like I care. She's just trying to get me to care." I said.
"Okay, then." He said.

I walked into CatCo, with a feeling of anxiety. I was nervous to approach Winn, mostly because he knew I saw him and Alex together.
I picked up Miss Grant's latte, and walked into the office. James approached me, along with Winn.
"Hey Kara. I went to your apartment, and you weren't there." James said.
"Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you. I moved out." I said.
"This has nothing to do with Alex and I, does it?" Winn asked.
"No. You two are two consenting adults, and it's none of my business. But I do have a job to get to, and I don't want any distractions, so I have to go. See you later." I said, and both men eyed me weird.
I delivered Miss Grant's latte to her, before spending the rest of my day at the phone. Occasionally, I would talk to James or Winn, but no one else really. I didn't even really feel like talking to Winn, mostly because I felt guilty about what Alex was doing to him, but I still talked to him.
The DEO sucked today. Alex kept talking to me about how she was going to break his heart, and how there was nothing I could do, and that it was all my fault. I told her to shut up, and she punched me in the gut. I was about to kill her. I went home to Max, and sighed in relief when he came home right behind me, and hugged me.
Going inside, we made hot chocolate, and sat down by the blazing fire.
"How was work?" I asked.
"Boring. What about you?"
"Sucked."
"Alex and Winn?"
"Yeah."
"Don't worry, it'll get better." he said.
"No, it won't. She's going to break his heart." I said.
"You'l stop her. I know you will." he said.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Because you're Supergirl. You always find a way to save people." he said, before turning on the TV.
The news lady was on. And this story nearly killed me right then and there.
"We have received intel that Maxwell Lord and Supergirl are officially a couple. But is Maxwell Lord a player? In this photograph, he was seen kissing Cat Grant's assistant. So you tell us. Maxwell Lord. Player or Romantic?" I looked over at Max. He was horrified.
"Well, I will find a way to save you, Max." I said.
