New Years Eve

It was a relatively dull day for the weather, but Kara, and Lena were preparing food for the celebrations that would ensue later.

Standing in the kitchen, Kara was standing over the stove, mixing golden syrup and oats together. She was making Flapjacks, golden, sugary goodness.

Kara melted when she felt Lena wrap her arms around her waist. She willed Lena to pull her closer.

Kara's wish was her command. Lena pulled tighter on Kara's waist and kissed her neck, teasing her.

Giggling, Kara broke the tension, "Hey, have you heard from Alura?"

"She is out on patrol, and she doesn't see any point." Lena sighed, resting her head on her wife's shoulder.

"She needs a shrink or something." Kara sighed, "I have been where she is...Not the Winn situation, well yes, the Winn..." She then huffed, "Lena we can help her however possible, but it is up to her how she deals with it."

Finally, Kara turned to face Lena, "She uh..." She laughed nervously, "I don't think she knows who she is."

Lena frowned, and crossed her arms, "She is old enough." She said, pointedly.

"I know, but..." Kara began.

"But?" Lena pressed.

Kara pinched her glasses. She moved the pan off of the stove and then turned back to her wife, "She doesn't know her identity and that is not good."

Lena was about to reply when she heard footsteps behind her. Alura walked in and she looked grumpy and it angered Lena.

"You need to stop being like this! Winn doesn't like you!" She snapped, not meaning to, only annoyance took over. She knew her and Winn had chemistry and could be a match from the outset. She only hates how much she moped around, feeling sorry for herself. It was New Year's Eve and tomorrow would be a fresh start and that is what she wanted for Alura.

"Lena!" Kara gasped in disbelief, flopping her arms to her side.

"I'm sorry." She sighed.

Kara took a breath, "What she means is, you and Winn...It was never going to work.'

"I get that now." Alura sighed and looked at Lena, her soft blue eye met green as she looked over.

"I'm sorry mom..." Alura began, "I am sorry I'm not who you want me to be."

Lena shifted her posture ever so slightly, "Alura." Her breath hitched, "This, this needs to stop, it has almost been a week. You're an adult and Winn rejected you, so what?"

Alura leaned on the edge of the work surface and rolled her eyes like a teenager, "He rejected me in the worst way possible. He doesn't even want to be friends."

"How long has it been since you spoke to him?" Lena asked bluntly. A slightly colder tone took over, but she was doing what she didn't get the chance to do when Alura was growing up, be a mom.

Shrugging, Alura took a moment to reply, "About six days."

"Six days?" Lena asked with a smug attitude. Kara only crossed her arms over her chest, watching the exchange happening between the two.

So, this is what it was like when I wasn't here. Kara thought.

"Alura, in six days, a lot can change."

Alura ran her finger gently across the cold surface of the white marble, "I just-"

"You're scared, and you're scared of losing him as a friend, I get that." She walked over to her daughter and placed her hand on the top of Alura's. Alura stopped her hand where it was and swallowed the lump in her throat.

"Tomorrow is a new start for all of us, you, Kara, Alex, Maggie." She then shrugged, "Everybody, so..." Lena tilted her head to meet Alura's eyes once more, "Enjoy today, or not, that is up to you, but I am telling you."

Alura finally locked her eyes with Lena's and held back tears.

"It is and will get better." A small smile broke out on her face, and Alura returned the same smile.


"Come in, come in!" Kara announced as Maggie and Alex arrived, "Alura is out being, well, Supergirl." She giggled. As she stepped out of the way of the door, Maggie gave her a very warm and welcoming hug.

"You two raised that kid well." Maggie smiled, "Do you know when she will be back?" She asked as she pulled away. Kara then looked back at Lena, who was putting plates on the table.

Alex frowned at the two women, "Is she uh...Still feeling down and out about Winn?"

"She is worried that he doesn't like her and that they will never be friends again," Lena said as she walked over.

"May I say, that dress is beautiful," Alex commented on Lena's black strapless dress. Lena smiled, appreciating the compliment, "Why thank you, Mrs Danvers, and you look amazing yourself."

"Do you two ever stop flirting with each other?" Maggie asked, noticing Alex going red. Maggie smiled, pulling her wife's hand, "I'm kidding, but seriously, Kara and I never flirt and here you and Lena are."

"We don't flirt!" Lena quipped back.

Maggie snorted, "Sure, Danvers." She walked over to the sofa and sat down, opening a bottle of white wine, "You were both flirting on Christmas Eve."

"If we flirt, we playfully flirt and it means nothing," Alex said, pointedly. She then noticed that Kara was stood at the window, looking up, "Kara?"

Maggie, Lena and Alex looked over at Kara and noticed a shadow, hanging outside the window.

"Alura." Lena breathed.

Alex and Maggie glanced at each other frowning, before returning their attention to the other two women.

Kara shrugged, "She is home for the New Year...I want to go and join her." Sadness was in Kara's voice and the other three women could hear it.

"Kara, you said you'd give up being Supergirl," Lena said softly, walking over to her. She placed her head on her shoulders and felt how tense Kara had become.

Kara slowly reached the buttons on her shirt and began undoing them. Lena's eyebrows raised, "If you go out, you become a bigger target, just stay home, please."

"I can't. I miss it." Kara sighed, her voice trembled as she spoke. Maggie and Alex exchanged looks, and Alex walked over.

"Kara." She said softly.

Kara tilted her head and looked down at the floor. A stray tear fell down her face as she removed her glasses, "I'm going. Don't try to stop me." She hissed before leaving.
