Duets
Kara was miserable, her and Lena hadn't seen each other in almost 2 weeks, and it wasn't just Lena's fault, between her duties as a reporter and her duties with the DEO, Kara had been caught up in so many investigations, she was starting to confuse them. Then to top it off, she was finally off and Lena had to go to Metropolis for an emergency board meeting.
"I miss you Lee.", Kara texted.
"I miss you too darling. Maybe we will see each other sooner than next weekend."
"I hope so."
"Do you really miss me that much?"
"Yes, why would you think otherwise."
"Because you normally hear my heartbeat when I am close enough."
"Lee, you are in a plane…", she paused listening, Lena's heartbeat, she could make it out and it was close. "You're here. With Alex?"
"Open the door."
Kara jumped and pulled the door so hard she almost ripped it off the hinges. There stood her gorgeous girlfriend, Alex and she assumed Alex's girlfriend Emma, whom she hadn't met yet. She pulled Lena into a bone crushing hug, kissing her. Alex was trying not to sink into the floor from embarrassment. Emma settled that by kissing Alex on the neck, breaking her view of Kara and Lena.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I haven't seen her in two weeks, I'm Kara, nice to meet you, you must be Emma, I'm babbling, sorry, hey Alex."
Emma, for her part, was awestruck, she had only just met Kara and already she understood why everyone loved her so much.
"Hi, I'm Emma, Emma Swan, it is a pleasure to finally meet you."
Kara didn't hesitate, she pulled Emma into a hug. Instead of being offended, Emma simply melted into Kara's embrace.
"Come on in everyone, we can catch up on the couch in the living area.", Kara said, pulling Emma in while holding Lena's hand.
Alex stood at the door, absolutely flabbergasted, it had taken her two weeks to get Emma to even hold her hand, she had known Kara for a whopping 45 seconds and already hugged her.
"Alex are you coming.", Emma giggled.
"Uhhhmm, yeah."
Kara's new apartment was noticeably smaller than the one she had in National City, but it was just as tidy, and she made them comfortable, while she made coffee and tea.
"So why did you decide to surprise me?"
"There is a Karaoke bar here in Seattle, and it is duet night. I though we might finally make our relationship public."
"Really, Lee? Are you sure?"
"Yes, I had Jess prepare a press release and everything."
"What?", Kara was shocked.
"It was a joke Kara."
"Oh okay.", Kara answered, breathing normally again.
"Plus, Emma and I haven't had a real date in a few weeks, so we thought we could double up."
"Will you sing Alex?"
"Only if Emma does."
"You are on Danvers.", Emma smiled.
"Where are you staying, obviously I don't have enough space."
"Jess took care of us, she got us rooms at the Fairmont, we already checked in, so we have time for dinner before we head to the bar."
Kara looked at everyone's clothes and realized they were all dressed for a casual night out, Emma in a red leather jacket, t-shirt, jeans and boots, Alex was wearing her black jeans, knee high boots, a black silk top and a black leather jacket and Lena, was, well Lena. Lena's outfit would have made a model jealous she wore it so well, her jeans were well fitted, she was wearing a Supergirl t-shirt, that fit her really well, her brown leather jacket and her brown lace up heeled boots. Suddenly all Kara could think about was taking her girlfriends clothes off and how they would look on the floor of their hotel room. She blushed at the thought and then spoke up, "Guess I should get dress then. Alex, can you?"
"Yeah, come on sis."
They went into Kara's bedroom. Kara didn't really need her help; she already had an outfit in mind. As she was getting dressed, she asked Alex about Emma.
"She's Lena's new head of internal security, she used to be a private investigator and sheriff in Massachusetts, but she got divorced from her wife and moved west."
"She seems nice."
"She has a son, Henry, nice kid, amazing imagination. And she wants at least one more."
"She has a child?"
"Yeah, she was young when she had him, I think he is 14 now, she gave him up for adoption and he found her when he was 8 or 9, his adoptive mother, Regina something or another and Emma couldn't stand each other, ended up married and then divorced, they are good friends now, guess marriage wasn't really for them."
"You okay with that?"
"Kara, she and I talked about her and Regina for two hours on our first date, she wants to get married again, she admitted that Henry was the reason she and Regina married in the first place, they were just like oil and water."
"I just want you happy Alex, I can protect you from a lot, but not a broken heart."
"We have been moving slowly, but she is really special."
Kara saw the spark in Alex's eyes. It was the same feeling she had had over Lena. "You really like her, don't you?"
"Yeah, like you and Lena, I would go to extremes over her."
Kara smiled then stepped out where Alex could see her.
"Holy shit Kar, you're going to give Lena a heart attack."
"You think she will like?"
"Hell yes."
Alex came out first, then Kara came out. She was in black leather legging with a pair of grey over the knee boots, a grey sweater and a leather belt to tie it together. Her hair was done up in a loose ponytail, and of course she had her glasses. Lena's heart stopped and skipped a beat. Emma watched Kara and Lena's reactions to one another and realized at that moment that she felt that way about Alex.
"Kara, darling, you look wow, you look amazing. I mean you are always beautiful, but when did you start wearing leather.", Lena was almost drooling.
"It's cold here, and leggings are warmer than I would have thought."
Lena simply nodded, as her mind went completely blank as her girlfriend spun around and Lena realized that Kara's ass looked really good in leggings.
"Alright ladies, before you both combust, it's time for dinner and a singing showdown.", Alex laughed.
The four women made their way to dinner, a really nice Italian place that Kara had discover. Everyone ate really well, but Emma was surprised at the amount of food Kara could put away. Dinner ended to quickly as she and Kara got to know one another, she was almost jealous as Kara always seemed to know exactly where Lena was and was touching her throughout the night, but then Kara and Lena had been friends for quite some time, while she and Alex had only been together for about 4 months. "The hell with it she thought", as she reached for Alex's hand and was surprised to find it so close to her own.
"Next stop, Karaoke."
They made their way to the bar, she noticed that while in public, Kara and Lena were close, but they never touched, Lena's position made her a target for the paparazzi, and Kara seemed very protective of the CEO, so much so, that Emma wondered if she was really needed when Kara was around. They entered the bar, and Emma and Kara walked up to the DJ to sign up.
"You're very protective of Lena?"
"She's been through a lot, and I broke her trust a while back, but I made a promise to always protect her, no matter what."
"She's very lucky."
"Thank you, so is my sister, I see the way you look at her, your heart stutters when you look at her."
"How did you know?"
"I can see it on your face.", Kara said, covering her gaffe.
They made their way back to the table, and Kara kissed Lena on the cheek and told her they were signed up for four songs. Alex and Emma signed up for just one.
Lena had picked a few songs, and so had Kara, so they flipped for the first one, Kara won, and she and Lena stepped on to the stage.
They had to give a reason for each pick on Duet night, so for their first song, Kara picked…
Rewrite the Stars by Zac Efron and Zendaya

As they finished singing the song, Kara spoke up, this song has always defined our relationship, because so many people didn't think we belonged together, simply because of who we are.
The next song was Lena's to choose, and she decided it was time to end the secret of their relationship, to go public, regardless of what anyone thought.

As the song ended, Lena gathered Kara in her arms and kissed her, then they turned their heads and took their first selfie together which Lena posted to her twitter account. "Hello world, this is my one true love, no more Secret Love. #SupercorpEndgame."
The room exploded as phones beeped, and twitter stopped for a second as their photo was retweeted several hundred thousand times. They were trending on every major search engine before they could get back to their seats.
Fifteen minutes later, Alex and Emma took the stage. Alex had no idea what song Emma had chosen until the music started. She looked at Emma, who smiled and nodded. Alex smiled and they sang to one another, not once looking at the crowd.

The song ended and both women, at the same time spoke, "I love you." The crowd just lost it as the two women kissed.
Lena and Kara took the stage again, this time Lena picked the song, one she had heard that defined Kara in her life really well, her Reason.
The Reason by Calum Scott and Leona Lewis

As they finished the lyrics, and the music was coming to an end, Lena noticed tears in Kara's eyes and was unable to explain the reason for the song and she pulled Kara to her and held her while the Supergirl got her emotions back under control.
They left the stage, and before Kara could even sit, Emma grabbed her arm and begged her to sing one with her. Kara looked at Alex and Lena, who both shrugged, shocked by how attached Emma had gotten so quickly.
Emma explained that they were singing simply because she was so enamored with Kara's voice, so she picked Shallow because she just liked the song. Kara heard the song, and did something totally spontaneous, she asked the DJ to not play the music and grabbed a guitar from the stage. The two women then proceeded to put on an acoustic show...

The entire bar exploded as Kara played the last note, she and Emma simply smiled and walked back to their table. Lena and Alex were awestruck.
The DJ finally called the last act to the stage, Lena and Kara. It was Kara's turn to pick the song, so she decided to pick one that no one would question the meaning to at all.

Once again, Kara played the guitar and everyone in the bar could feel the emotion between the two women as the song ended. The video of the two women hit the internet and twitter and Instagram couldn't keep up. Kara looked up at Lena as she finished her last line, and Lena's breathe caught as she realized how hungrily Kara was looking at her. The patrons of the bar gave the women a standing ovation, and Lena needed Kara's help back to the table, because her knees were weak from the kiss Kara had given her when they stood up to bow. It seemed that tonight was going to end on a definite high note.
