A/N: I'm pretty well stocked on pre-written chapters and I also just finished writing Sam's evals. I'm pumped about it. So, I decided to double post today to help with my excitement. That last one was kind of short anyways. Thanks for reading!
Stupid fucking Kara. That's all that had been going through Sam's head since Alex called and told her what was going on. Leave it to fucking Kara to put National City on her shoulders and agree to something so overwhelmingly idiotic!
Sam sat on the floor next to Kara's apartment door. She could go in. She still had the key Kara gave her a few months back but Sam wasn't sure she even wanted to be doing this. This, being confronting Kara about her decision to be a fucking moron. It's been an hour since Sam got there. No Kara but no decision made either.
Her head thudded back against the wall. It was confusing inside her head. Sam had so many mixed feelings and thoughts. They all zoomed and crashed and jumbled together.
She had been pissed when Alex said she wanted to talk about Kara. Immediately, Sam thought Alex was being her typical self and trying to do…something stupid. She wasn't really sure to be honest. Just that it felt like Alex trying to mend her and Kara or defending Kara. Then, Sam was pissed Kara was marrying that fifth dimensional asshat and wouldn't let anyone help her.
Sam had immediately been worried about Kara. Alex said they didn't know what was going to happen. The DEO had no idea what would happen to Kara after marrying that prick. Sam doubted Kara had any idea either. It was a rash decision that was so fucking stupid.
It didn't seem to matter that Sam was mad at Kara. Nor that she hadn't wanted to talk to Kara in weeks. Sam's heart and head were content to confuse her with worry and concern.
She heaved a sigh, much too dramatic for no audience, and got up. Sam let herself into Kara's. She hoped she'd get there soon. It was uncomfortable to be in her sister's home when they hadn't been on speaking terms. Sam wanted to yell at Kara, tell her she was a fucking idiot, then leave. That was it.
The wait wasn't short. Over an hour for sure. After that, Sam wasn't too sure how long she really waited. Eventually, though, Kara came floating through her oversized window.
"Sam? What are you doing here?"
"You're an idiot." Sam said instead. She stood from the couch and walked over to Kara. "You are such a fucking idiot. What in the world were you thinking, Kara?"
"Mon-El told you?"
"No. He told Alex who told me."
"Oh…Well, it's not even that bad! I wasn't going to marry him. Really! I just said that so I could get him to the Fortress. Then, I sealed it and threatened to kill myself if he didn't leave. That's one of the three things he can't force me to do; drink orange juice, marry him, or kill myself." Kara counted them off on her fingers. Not bothered a bit that Sam was fuming. It only boiled her blood further. "In this case, not kill myself but still. You get it."
"'Not that bad'? Kara?! You're so fucking stupid. You don't have to do shit like that! Ask for some fucking help. Accept help. How could you even think that almost killing yourself isn't 'that bad'?"
"But I di–"
"No. Don't. Because I'm sure it was a really fucking close call before he realized you weren't kidding. What would National City do if that stupid-ass dimensional dude let you kill yourself? Or Alex. What in the absolute fuck would Alex do? God Kara. You don't get to do shit like that.
"This wasn't a one for the many situation. This could have been solved without the fucking theatrics. A real hero makes sound decisions. She accepts help and doesn't go rogue. A real hero isn't a fucking idiot who scares the shit out of her family."
"You were–"
"Of course, I was worried about you. I fucking grew up with you. It's not like I really had a choice; and, this doesn't change anything. I still don't want anything to do with either of you. I only came because we both know Alex won't say any of this and it needed to be said." Sam let her glare stand on its own for a moment. Then, she added, "You need to tell her you're home."
With that, Sam turned heel and left. She said her piece. Kara was safe. She was inside her apartment, unharmed and unmarried. Sam could go back to hating her now.
She shot a text to Alex. She wasn't sure when Kara would get around to it. If she even would. Sometimes she was forgetful and Alex was probably still freaking out.
-She's home (S)
-Good. Thanks for the heads up. How is she? (A)
-Fine (S)
There was a brief pause. The typing ellipsis popped up then went away. Popped up again.
-Did she come see you? (A)
Sam thought about how she wanted to respond. She wouldn't lie but did she want to admit how worried she had been? It was likely Alex already figured it out anyway. And, Kara was going to tell her.
-I waited for her at her apt. I yelled at her then left. Don't make a big deal out of this (S)
-I won't. See you Sat (A)
Alex would. She was probably thinking this meant that they were on the 'road to recovery'. To Sam's surprise, maybe dismay, she didn't really care. It didn't bother her for Alex to think that. Maybe she could even admit that she kind of missed her sisters.
Not that things could just go back. Sam still had issues to sort through. They all had shared issues to sort through. There was a lot to do. But, if Sam could put in the effort with James and Winn, maybe she needed to put in the effort with her family. At some point. Not any time soon. The idea made Sam a little stressed and overwhelmed.
First, though, Sam had to close the deal with the DEO. She could afford to deal with her family issues once her physical evals were taken care of. That was her priority.
