Lena Pov

My words take a few moments to formulate from thoughts in my brain to words spilling out of my mouth.

"Lee?" Kara is touching the floor again, by this point. Kara's eyes are big, she shares a scared look with Alex; who looks like she's ready to launch herself between us, if she necessary.

"Lena?" Kara's voice is shaking this time when she says my name. I can hear the nervousness, reminding me of the conversation I had with Alex last week. Bringing back my own fears that I had for tonight before Kara starting floating. She's probably freaking out as much as I was earlier tonight. After all, in today's political climate it's scary to be an alien or have powers of any kind. In the world today, it's hard to know how people will react to differences. It hits me, in her own way to me too.

I pull her into a hug knowing that physical touch is the best way to keep Kara grounded. Shooting Alex, a "no need to go overprotective big sister on me." She visibly relaxes leaning her body against the couch, a small sigh is heard leaving her lips.

"I'm an alien. I have powers. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner." Kara mumbles into my shoulder, a wet spot growing there.

Pulling away from Kara just enough so I can see her face. Her glasses are clouded with tears, snot is dripping down her nose.

"I am a little hurt but that's my own issue to deal with. it's the whole not trusting a Luthor."

Both Alex and Kara blurt out a "we trust you Lena!" In the same sturdy unison that reinforces their bond as sisters.

"I know you do. I know you have to be careful with who knows about your abilities, because it can be a dangerous world. Probably doesn't help that my family is known to be anti-alien."

"Again Lena, you are NOT your parents!" Kara's voice is confident and commanding, contrasting the brokenness there, just a few minutes before. Wiping her glasses with the hem of her shirt she places them firmly back on her face. "We've had this conversation so many times Lee, but I'll tell you as many as you need to hear it. You are not your family. You're my best friend. I love you and I trust you." Kara pulls me tighter into our embrace.

Kara has always given tight hugs. Her strength has always puzzled me. She's thin and has never played a sport competitively at least. My curious brain takes over my wild heart right now.

"What other powers do you have?" My thought spills out before I can control my words. Sometimes the rust on my social skills still manages to shine through, even with the Danvers.

"She has the apatite of an entire football team." Alex shoots a smirk Kara's way, the banter lifting the atmosphere of the room significantly.

"That explains your obsession with food." I join Alex in the teasing.

"Hey! It's not an obsession. It's a passion!" Kara defends with a huff. "Besides you two better be nice to me, if you don't want to be on the receiving end of my heat vision; or better yet my freeze breath." Kara has a sickly-sweet smile on her face.

"You have both of those abilities?" My brain is electric with all the possibilities forming in my mind.

"Yeah?" Her voice is growing quiet once more.

"Kara I'm not judging you. I'm just curious. I promise her.

She nods slowly. "I know your not judging. I do trust you Lena. I'm sorry I'm not used to openly discussing my powers with anyone but my family." She lets out a little laugh, her smile growing even wider. "I'm glad I can share all parts of who I am with you now."

"I'm honored that you trust me enough to share your secret with me, of course your secret is safe with me." The conversation is relaxed once again between us. "I want to hear more about your powers and your planet, or were you born here on earth?"

"We have all weekend to talk about all of this. I will answer any and all questions you have. For tonight, can we just watch movies with Alex and talk about boys? Be normal teenage girls for the night? My story isn't normal and for the most part I really like being normal. I'm worried that once you hear my story, I won't be normal to you anymore. Can we have one more night of normal please?" Her rant has turned into a soft plea.

Worry climbs in my chest like climbing up the twisted branches of a tall tree, but the soft smiles both sisters give me quiet my worries just a little bit.

"Yeah, of course Kara whatever you need." I give her my best smile hoping she knows that whatever she tells me this weekend, or whatever I find out, she will still be Kara. She will still be my best friend.

Turns out Alex's way of having my back is by picking Love Simon as her movie pick. A sharp point hits my shoulder I look over and see a nicely folded paper airplane next to me on the floor. A smile is tugging at my lips. I look over at Alex just a few feet away from me her eyes trained on me. She looks away once I catch her. Her cheeks a light pink, or maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see. Kara is in the kitchen getting more snacks, so I unfold the plane knowing there is a message inside for me.

Are you going to tell Kara tonight? The decision is yours. Just reminding you that I'm here.

I'm about to speak my thanks when Alex puts her finger to her lips, motioning to the paper encouraging me to read further.

Kara also has super hearing.

I look up to see Alex pointing towards the kitchen. Now all the airplanes Alex and I have sent back and forth over the years, as a way of holding private conversations between us, make sense. The first night we used this method of communication was the first sleepover I had with them back in sixth grade. Kara had fallen asleep rather early, while I found myself up until the early hours of the morning with Alex. That was the night Alex started to become my friend too. Not just Kara's cool mysterious older sister.

Alex tosses me a pen and I scribble my reply, hastily folding the paper back into a plane, tossing it back to Alex.

Thank you! 3

She looks at my response for a minute I worry that my drawing a heart was too much. Alex's smile tells me it's not though. It's sly lighting her eyes and maybe a little flirty?

Simon: Did you know?
Emily: I knew you had a secret. When you were little, you were so carefree. But these last few years, more and more, it's almost like I can feel you holding your breath. I wanted to ask you about it, but I didn't want to pry. Maybe I made a mistake.
Simon: No. No, mom, you didn't make a mistake.
Emily: Being gay is your thing. There are parts of it you have to go through alone. I hate that. As soon as you came out, you said, "Mom, I'm still me." I need you to hear this. You are still you, Simon. You are still the same son who I love to tease, and who your father depends on for just about everything. And you're the same brother who always complements his sister on her food, even when it sucks. But you get to exhale now, Simon. You get to be more you than you have been in, in a very long time. You deserve everything you want.

When we get to the scene between Simon and his mother. All my emotions come pouring out of me like a summer thunderstorm. Pounding loud and unexpected, forcing my thoughts out of my mouth.

"Kara I'm bisexual." I barely whisper but I know she can hear me now.

AN What do you guys think? Reviews are appreciated! Hope everyone has a lovely night and enjoys the Supergirl season finale tonight! P.S that's my favorite quote from Love Simon.
