Alex looked around her apartment, noticing the mess. Her jaw hung open as she walked around.
Only one person could have done this. "KARA!" Alex yelled, no matter where her sister was, home or out flying around, she definitely heard her sister. The younger blonde came scurrying into the living room where her sister stood, hands on her hips and face reddening.
"Yes?" Kara smiled innocently.
"Don't play cute with me right now. What is the meaning of this mess!" Alex gestured to all of it.
"I ummmm... What mess..?" Even Kara knew that that sounded stupid.
"Kara." Alex warned, narrowing her green eyes dangerously at her sister.
"Okay! I had Winn and James over to help keep me company while you were out shopping and they kinda sorta got drunk and they kinda sorta you know... Recked out home. I was trying to clean it up! I promise, I just had to pee and didn't have time to do clean it all up before you walking in, I'm sorry!" Kara conceded, folding her arms behind her back and staring at the floor as she scuffed her feet nervously across it.
"Okay. For starters, you should have asked me before you just invited your friends over. Two, I don't want any boys in this house without me here what so ever. Three, you broke the rules. Four, you left a mess. Five, you didn't clean it up and you and I both know you have super speed and could have if you really wanted to. Six, your not getting away with it this time. Your grounded." Alex's face hardened at her sister, she practically growled the last word.
"I said I was sorry!" Kara defended.
"I don't care if your sorry or not! Sorry doesn't fix the past!" Alex countered.
"Alex, I'm twenty four years old. You can't ground me." Kara crossed her arms, thinking she'd won.
"Kara, who's roof are you living under?" Alex crossed her arms in front of her chest to.
"Yours?" It came out more as a question than a answer.
"Yes mine. And you live under my rules as long as you live under my roof. Understood?" Alex almost felt the urge to cringed. She sounded just like Eliza.
"I! Alex! That's not fair! I'm an adult!" Kara stomped her foot.
"And your sure aren't acting like one!" Alex yelled back.
"Because you won't treat me like one! I'm twenty four! You can't tell me what to do!"
"I'm your big sister! I can do whatever I want!" Alex stepped towards Kara, warning her not to push it.
"Stop playing the big sister card. It doesn't work anymore. We're adults."
"Then act like one! If you were an adult then you wouldn't have thrown a little party in here without permission and you wouldn't have left a mess!"
"URGH! Why are you such a pain!"
"Why are you so argumentative and defiant!?" Alex replaced quickly.
"I guess I learned from the best!" Kara stuck her tongue out, not exactly proving her point of 'I'm an adult.'
"And who would that be? Your reflection!? This is the end of this discussion! Your grounded and that's FINAL!" The tone and Alex's voice made Kara take a step back. She'd never been yelled at like that and she couldn't move. She was frozen to the spot.
Finally she managed to speak, "but-" Alex cut her off.
"WHAT DID I SAY!? Go to your room! NOW!" Alex threw her keys into the counter and Kara ran as fast as she could to her room, tripping on a rug in the process.
She kept running though, until she was safely behind her bedroom door and under her comforter.
She didn't feel safe anymore and everything felt weak, like suddenly she didn't have any strength at all, let alone super strength.
Kara laid under her blanket and shook. She wasn't sure if it was from fear or if it was from cold, but if she had to guess she would have said a little of both.
Alex yelled at her. Loudly. Kara hadn't been this upset since her aunt died or when Alex had blown up at her before about the office.
You'd think poor Kara would learn.
After about two hours, Alex had the living room clean again and had calmed down.
Maybe she'd been a little to angry with Kara... She'd have to work on that.
Alex walked over to Kara's door, gently wrapping her knuckles against the wooden frame.
"Kara? Can I come in?" Alex called, but after hearing No response, she went in.
What she saw broke her heart. Kara laid in a said heap underneath her many blankets. She looked small and venerable, which were not two common adjectives used to describe the formidable Supergirl.
Kara's cheeks were still a bright red color and Alex could see where fresh tears had dried onto her little sisters face.
Kara's eyes rested closed and her breathing was even, telling Alex that her sister had cried herself to sleep.
Even though she was a asleep, Alex still sat done next to her and began talking quietly.
"I'm sorry Kara. I over-reacted. I hope you can forgive me, I didn't mean to yell at you like that. I just lost my temper, I suppose I'm gonna have to work on that. Yes I know your asleep, and yes I know you can't really hear me, it's just nice to tell you this. It makes me feel a little better. I know I'll have to repeat all this to you when you wake up, but it's okay. I can do that. I hope you won't be mad at me, your still gonna be grounded, but maybe not as long as I thought. I guess instead of two weeks I'll just go for tonight. I wasn't sure how to ground you, so I decided you couldn't go out with James or Winn tonight. And I decided on no sister night. It'll just be dinner, shower, and then bed. I know that that sounds like a childish punishment, but I feel like it'll do the trick for you. You acted like a child, so you'll be punished like one. I think it's suitable. Anyway, sweet dreams Kara. I love you." Alex kissed her sisters forehead and got up to leave, stopped when she heard Kara speak.
"I know." The younger girl sat up slowly, suspending herself up on her elbows. "I'm sorry to. I shouldn't of had them over without asking you and I definitely should have cleaned up the mess. I'm sorry. Are you still mad at me?" Kara's eyes were red from crying, but the innocence that shimmered in the bright blue never diminished. Not even for a second.
"Of corse I forgive you. I'd never stay mad." Alex sat back down next to her sister, running her fingers through the golden hair. "Are you mad at me?"
"I was, but not anymore. I love you Alex." Kara leaned back into her sister, her head resting on the older girls shoulder.
"I love you too." Alex kissed Kara's head, hugging her tightly from the side.
"Are you at least going to make is dinner? Even if I'm grounded?" Kara asked quietly.
"Kara! Jeez, just because your in trouble does not mean I'm going to deprive you of food. Goodness." Alex was shocked her sister would Even ask that.
"Okay."
"I'm gonna go make dinner, alright?" Alex asked, already standing up.
"Okay. I'm gonna just stay in here for a little bit. I'll be out when it's ready." Kara gave a half hearted smile, still feeling guilty.
"Okay. I'll come get you when it's ready." Alex left, going into the kitchen to start dinner.
'How can I make it up to Alex...?' She wondered to herself, tired blue eyes scanning the room. Finally they rested on a old sketchbook and pencil.
Kara climbed out of bed, grabbing the book and bringing it back to her bed. She propped a pillow in her lap and leaned back against her headboard, setting the sketchbook on the pillow.
Kara lightly began tracing shapes and outlines all over the page, creating elegant and intricate designs. The sheer brilliance and intelligence was reflected in every line.
Kara poured her heart and soul into the drawing, erasing anything that she didn't think was perfect. Anyone could see the love in picture and could appreciate the time and effort going into it.
It was a portrait of two young girls, about twelve and fifteen. The older girl laid against the younger girl as they soared in the sky.
It wasn't difficult to tell that the picture was of a young Alex and Kara.
Kara erased her lines just enough to fade them and she outlined it in ink, capturing every detail of her older sister, down to the fading sun reflecting in her eyes.
Kara managed to get motion in the water, the fading oranges and pinks of earths setting sun, the slight reflection of them in the water, the exact shade of Alex's deep green eyes. Kara perfected the shadows and lights, even both of their hair flying wildly in multiple directions as the wind blew it about.
She used an old set of color pencils to crest and exact replica of one of her most prized memories. Alex would love it, at least Kara hoped she would.
As Kara finished up blending her sky with her white color pencil, Alex opened the door.
"Dinners ready, ohhhh! What's that?" Alex took a step in and Kara suddenly became shy.
"Don't look yet." Kara tried to cover the page with her hands, but it was to late. Alex gently, yet quickly, grabbed the paper and marveled at its detail. It was beautiful.
"Kara..." Alex breathed out, at a loss for words. Alex could even see the slight redness to their cheeks as the cool wind gave them a bit of frost bite, and she even saw the innocence reflecting in Kara's eyes as the younger girl took in all that was earth. She hadn't ever seen anything like it before...
"You don't like it, do you?" Kara knitted her hands together nervously.
"I. I. Kara I love it. It's amazing. I. I just don't know what to say to it. It's so real, it's like I'm standing there watching us fly by. Is this for me?" Alex finally, albeit reluctantly, Tore her eyes away from the art work to see her sisters head slowly bobbing up and down, a yes. "Thank you. I love it." Alex gently say it down, as not to mess it up.
"You do?" Kara raised an eyebrow, not thinking it was all that great.
"I do. If anyone else saw it, they'd all say, "Picasso who? Leonardo Devinchi what? All people would he remembering is Kara Danvers." Alex laughed, walking over and pulling her sister to get feet.
"I'm really glad you like it. Shall we go eat?" Kara smiled widely, feeling giddy because her sister was proud of her.
"We shall." Alex smiled back and led her sister into the kitchen, wear they dug Into they're freshly prepared Chicken Parmesan.
