"You haven't told her," Alex exclaimed. She tossed the towel on the couch and turned to face Lena. "Lena, she's going to find out you stepped down as CEO and when she does find out it not going to take much for her to realize you did it for her."

Lena sighed and dropped her own towel. Kara was currently in Texas picking up chili cheese fries for lunch. While she was gone Lena and Alex were folding laundry. "I haven't found the right time. She just woke up, less than twenty-four hours ago."

"She still needs to know," Alex said. "She will find out sooner or later and it will be best if it comes from you." Alex grabbed her towel and quickly folded it. "Are you going to tell her about your feelings?"

"I don't know," Lena said after a minute. "I want to tell her. There are these moments where I feel like she feels the same for me. But Kara was my first, and only, friend. I can't risk losing her."

"Kara's not your only friend, not now." Alex touched her hand. "Even if you and Kara don't work out, for whatever reason, and I highly doubt that will happen, you have me." Lena hugged Alex.

"Can you get me Clark's number? My device, I would like to test it so I can get to work making another," Lena explained.

Alex held her hand out. "Give me your phone."

Lena handed over her phone. Alex paused briefly at Lena's background. It was a picture of Lena and Kara together at the Gala. She quickly tapped in Clark's number, and her own, and handed the phone back.

"Thanks," Lena said. She sent Clark a quick text asking him to come over tomorrow, once Kara had gone back to work.

"Where's your lab?" Alex asked curious.

"L-Corp has a basement," Lena answered. "Only Jess, Sam and I know about it. And only Jess can get in, other than myself, of course."

"Why tell Sam then?" Alex asked.

"As my Chief Financial Officer she needs to know where money is going," Lena explained. "I only told her after she confronted me about missing money."

"She doesn't seem like the type who would confront anyone about anything," Alex said, thinking about the new CEO of L-Corp.

"She takes her job very seriously," Lena said fondly. "She had no trouble confronting me when she thought I was doing something wrong. It doesn't matter if it's my company, or my money."

Kara flew back into the penthouse. Five large bags in her hands. "Somebody order chili cheese fries?" She grinned and held up the bags.

Alex rolled her eyes and grabbed some sodas from the fridge. Kara dropped the bags and disappeared. She returned seconds later in more comfortable clothes.

"When the owner realized it was Supergirl in his shop he gave me an extra order and half a dozen muffins. He said he had family here in National City and I saved their lives. Anyway, I got cheeseburger, two bacon overload and loaded. Lena, what do you want?"

Lena stared at the mountain of food on the table. The thought of eating any of this made her sick. There was simply too much food. It did help knowing that Kara would finish what she didn't. "I'll take the cheeseburger one," Lena decided.

Kara handed it over and turned to Alex. "Do you even need to ask?" Kara handed her the bacon chili cheese fries. The remaining two Kara kept for herself.

"This is the best thing I've ever eaten," Kara exclaimed shoving more fries into her mouth.

"You say that about everything," Alex said rolling her eyes.

"But it's true," Kara protested.

Lena smiled as she watched the two siblings argue over Kara's favorite foods. For the first time in her life she felt like she had friends… or family. It was a great feeling.

Hours later Lena and the Danvers sisters were relaxing on the couch drinking wine. Thanks to Kara Lena's penthouse was now spotless. Kara even cleaned up all the glass on the balcony so the contractors could come fix it in the morning.

Lena was surprised when her phone rang. Alex and Kara stopped arguing and glanced at Lena. Caller ID said it was Sam. "Sam?"

"Ms… Lena," Sam said relieved. "I can't do this."

"Can't do what?" Lena asked confused. "I don't understand. Are you okay?" Kara immediately stood up, ready to fly off if someone was in danger.

"I'm fine," Sam said. "No, I'm not." Kara frowned. She didn't understand. "It's the meeting tomorrow. I can't… I don't… I don't know…I need help."

"Sam, slow down," Lena instructed. She waved Kara down. She didn't need Supergirl for this. "What about the meeting?"

Sam took a deep breath. "I'm not prepared. I don't know what to do," she confessed.

Lena sighed. She had forgotten about the meeting and she felt guilty. This wasn't fair to Sam. She hadn't meant to do this to Sam, hadn't meant to make Sam face a meeting with the office in Metropolis with no preparation. "Alright Sam," Lena said. "Take a deep breath. Come by my penthouse. I'll order some take out and I'll make sure you are ready."

"Thank you, Lena," Sam sighed in relief. "I'll be there in an hour."

"Bring Ruby," Lena suggested.

"Are you sure?" Sam asked. Sam was used to people not wanting to include Ruby in things. Having an eleven-year-old daughter made relationships, romantic or otherwise, almost impossible. Ruby was the most important thing to Sam. She wouldn't trade her for anything. But she did get lonely at times.

"Of course, Sam. Bring her. I'm sure I have something here to keep her entertained." She looked at Alex and Kara, fighting over the leftover muffin from lunch. These two already acted like children so Ruby would be plenty entertained.

"Thank you so much Lena," Sam said. "I don't know what I would do without you."

"I'll see you soon Sam," Lena said before hanging up the phone.

"Sam," Alex said. Kara took advantage of Alex being distracted and stuffed the muffin into her mouth. "Is she coming over again?"

"Yes," Lena answered. "There's a meeting tomorrow that I completely forgot about. I'm going to prepare Sam for it. I should probably go to the meeting as well and let them know."

"Let them know what?" Kara asked confused.

Lena glanced at Alex. Alex shrugged. "I stepped down as CEO of L-Corp," Lena told Kara.

Kara's eyes widened. The muffin slipped out of her hand and onto the counter. "What? Why?" She looked at Lena and then at Alex. "You did it for me," she realized.

"Not just you," Lena disagreed. "There are projects that I've wanted to work on but I haven't had the time. Now I do." Kara and Lena stared at each other. "Anyway, Sam will be here within the hour and she's bringing her daughter."

"Daughter," Alex repeated in surprise.

"Yes," Lena confirmed. "Ruby, she's eleven. I was hoping you two would be able to help with her while I talk to Sam."

"I can grab my Wii," Kara offered. "We can teach her Mario Kart."

Alex grinned. "Another person to beat you at Mario Kart."

Kara glared at her. "It's not my fault the controllers don't survive."

Lena made a mental note to buy more Wii controllers while she was out tomorrow. Now that she thought about it she might need to pick up an extra TV as well.

"I'll leave now," Kara decided. She tapped her chin. "Should I grab some board games?"

Alex shrugged. She loved kids but she had no idea what they liked to do. "Bring a couple. It couldn't hurt."

Kara nodded and disappeared out the window. "She not wearing her suit," Lena noted with a groan.

Alex sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "It's amazing how the rest of the city doesn't know who she is. She'll figure it out before she gets home. By the way, we do a family and friend game night every Sunday night at Kara's apartment. This week was cancelled due to obvious reasons… My point is, you should come."

"I…thank you," Lena said. She was touched that Alex included her.

Kara returned a few minutes later with her Wii, Monopoly and the Game of Life. "I hope this is enough," Kara said dropping the items on the couch.

Alex got to work hooking up the Wii. It was going to be fun playing on such a large TV. "Shame we can't play our usual game of Mario Kart," Alex said grinning at Kara.

"Do I even want to know?" Lena asked raising an eyebrow at the two sisters.

"Drunk Mario Kart," Alex said. "Now that we found alcohol that affects Kara, it is even more fun."

"One time, Alex. It happened one time, and you promised not to say anything," Kara pouted.

"What happened?" Lena asked Kara.

Kara sighed. She couldn't resist Lena, no matter how hard she tried. "The first time I actually participated in drunk Mario Kart I accidently threw the controller out of my window…"

"And in the process broke a window three blocks away," Alex finished with a laugh. "It was hard to explain to that poor couple."

"It was an accident," Kara insisted, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Kara, darling," Lena called. She froze when the term of endearment slipped. Kara either didn't notice, or didn't care. She stared at Lena, waiting for her to continue. "I'm going to call that Italian restaurant we went to last week. Can you pick up the food for me? Yes, I will get extra food for you," she added when she saw Kara was about to ask.

"Okay," Kara agreed.

Lena pulled out her phone to call in the food order. Thankfully Kara remembered to use the door this time. "Do you think that's enough food?" Lena asked when she hung up the phone.

"Should be. Ah ha," Alex exclaimed triumphantly as the Mario Kart intro came onto the screen. "If its not there's another box of Potstickers in the freezer."

"I'll have Jess pick up more," Lena decided.

Alex sat down on the couch. "You know Kara is fine now. She's going to want to go home."

"Oh," Lena said. She wasn't sure how she missed this. Of course, Kara would want to go home. There was no reason to stay. It wasn't like they were in a relationship and Lena could ask her to move in.

"Are you okay?" Alex asked concerned.

"I'm fine," Lena lied, forcing a smile on her face.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean…"

Lena held up her hand. "Don't," she said. "I knew this was coming. I just… I didn't think it would be so soon. It was foolish of me to think otherwise."

"Just because she's going home doesn't mean you won't see her," Alex reminded her. "And I can guarantee she will be going to your lab, reminding you to eat."

Lena laughed and wiped away the few tears that had fallen. "I suppose I should grant her access to my lab before she forces her way in."

"That would be best," Alex agreed. "She can be quite destructive when she wants something. It's never intentional but I do have several pieces of future that didn't survive her wrath."

"So, the clumsy act," Lena began. "Is it really just an act?"

"Actually no, it's not an act," Alex told her. "We believe it's a way to compensate for their powers. They try so hard not to use their powers when they're supposed to act human that it comes out as being clumsy."

"I've always wondered how someone with the powers of a God could trip over air," Lena said thoughtfully.

"That's part of Kara charm," Alex laughed. "She's even worse than Clark."

Kara returned with a bag of food in each hand. She sat them on the counter and turned to face Lena and Alex. She noticed Lena's tear stained cheeks and glared at Alex. "What did you do?"

Lena moved toward Kara. "Alex didn't do anything. We were just talking."

Kara brushed the tears away. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Lena shook her head. "No. I'm fine. I promise."

"Get a room," Alex grumbled.

Kara and Alex poured the food into serving bowls while Lena got drinks out, alcohol for the adults and soda for Ruby. She also grabbed some water glasses. "Will you set the table for me?" Lena asked, putting her hand on Kara's arm.

Kara blushed. "Sure," she squeaked. She grabbed the offered silverware and turned to go back to the table. Lena watched in amusement as Kara tripped over her own foot and she, along with all the silverware, tumbled to the ground. "I'm so sorry Lena."

Lena helped Kara off the ground. "Don't apologize. You didn't break anything so there's nothing to be sorry about." She handed Kara a clean set of silverware and cleaned up the mess on the floor.

"Really Kara? One touch from Lena and you are dropping stuff," Alex teased.

"Shush Alex," Kara said blushing again.

"Seriously Kara," Alex said. "If you ever want to talk about something… anything. I'm here for you."

Kara watched Lena move around the kitchen, pulling random objects from different cabinets and drawers. She didn't know what half the objects were. "I don't know what to say," Kara said honestly.

Alex shrugged. "We can talk later, when we are alone."

"Thanks Alex." Kara gave Alex a quick hug.

They had finished setting everything up. The three of them took turns showering and getting ready while the other two played Mario Kart. Just as Lena finished getting ready the doorbell rang.

"Sam," Lena greeted. "Hi Ruby."

"Lena," Ruby exclaimed hugging the older woman.

"Hi Lena," Sam said. She hugged Lena. Kara crossed her arms and glared at Sam.

"Kara you're going to break the controller," Alex warned.

Kara loosened her grip on the controller. They only had two left. It wouldn't be good if she broke one. "Sorry."

"Come in," Lena said stepping aside. "I have a couple of friends here. I hope you don't mind."

"Not at all," Sam said. "We're the ones that interrupted." She spotted Alex next to a woman she didn't recognize. "Hello Agent Danvers."

"Alex," Alex automatically corrected. "Sam, it's good to see you." She stepped toward the two. "This must be Ruby." She offered her hand to the young girl. "This is my sister, Kara."

"Kara," Sam repeated. She didn't know Kara but she had heard enough about her from Lena and the other employees at L-Corp. Everyone at L-Corp loved Kara. "So, you're the infamous Kara." Sam grinned as Lena blushed.

"Food," Kara announced before anyone had a chance to try and embarrass her and Lena anymore. "We have food."

"I'm starving," Ruby said making her way to the table. "Mom wouldn't let me have a snack."

Kara gasped in horror. "No snacks," she muttered. "That is terrible."

Lena and Alex rolled their eyes. "Come, sit," Lena said. She led the Sam to the dining room. She poured two glasses of wine and handed one over to Sam. "I hope you don't mind Kara and Alex being here. They're like kids themselves and I thought they would be good company for Ruby."

"It's fine," Sam assured her. "Does this mean you told her?"

Lena choked on her wine. She looked at Kara but Kara was busy teaching Ruby Mario Kart. "No, I haven't," Lena answered, relieved to see that Kara was not paying attention to them.

"Lena," Sam sighed.

"I would rather not talk about it," Lena said before Sam could say anymore more. She didn't want to risk Kara eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Okay," Sam agreed. "But you should talk to someone, preferably Kara."

"I'll consider it," Lena said.

The game was paused so they could gather and eat. Once again Kara waited for everyone to serve themselves before she piled food onto her plate. Sam and Ruby stared at the overflowing plate in amazement.

Alex kicked Kara under the table, groaning in pain as she did so. Kara didn't feel the pain but did feel the pressure of Alex's kick. She realized Sam and Ruby were staring at her and grinned sheepishly. "I'm just a little hungry."

"A little?" Ruby asked staring at the plate.

"Ruby," Sam scolded.

"It's okay," Kara said. "I have a big appetite and a better metabolism than the average hu… um person."

"Twenty bucks says Kara outs herself as Supergirl before the end of the night," Lena whispered to Alex. Kara looked up and glared at Lena.

"One hundred says she makes it through tonight," Alex countered. Kara smiled slightly as she heard her sister defend her. "But if they spend any more time together, she will figure it out."

Lena snorted into her glass. Kara glared at Alex. "Deal."

"This is great Lena. Did you cook?" Sam asked.

Alex laughed. "No, not tonight. I had Kara pick up some food from that Italian restaurant down the street," Lena confessed.

"They let you order take out?" Sam asked surprised.

"The owner owed me a favor," Lena said with a shrug.

"Are there more restaurants that owe you favors?" Kara asked curious.

"There might be," Lena said vaguely. "Maybe someday you'll find out." She winked at Kara causing the blonde to choke on her food.

"Are they always like this?" Sam wanted to know.

"Yes," Alex answered. "It's painful to watch."

"You should try listening to it," Sam muttered. "Kara is so pretty. Kara's smile lights of the room. She can go on and on. She once did, for forty minutes before I had to stop it."

Alex watched her sister and Lena, both in their own little world, unaware of Sam, Alex and Ruby sitting on the table with them. "So, Ruby how old are you?"

"Eleven," Ruby answered.

"That would put you in sixth grade?" Alex asked unsure.

"Yep," Ruby said grabbing another breadstick.

"How do you like it?" Alex questioned.

"It's okay," Ruby said with a shrug.

"Ruby's working on a science fair project," Sam inputted. "We were going to ask Lena to help but she's been so busy."

"I could help," Alex offered. "I have a PhD in bioengineering. What's your project on?"

"The effects of Kryptonite on humans," Ruby replied.

Alex choked on her drink. "That's interesting. How do you plan on testing that?"

"I was going to find some volunteers that haven't been exposed to Kryptonite. Test their vitals, with Lena's help. Then expose them to Kryptonite. Test them again and increase the exposure time to Kryptonite."

Alex had to admit she was impressed. She wasn't thrilled about the use of Kryptonite but it was a good experiment. "Where do you plan on getting the Kryptonite from?" Alex asked.

Ruby looked down. "I didn't actually plan for that part," she admitted.

Alex looked to Kara, who was paying attention to her conversation with Ruby. She nodded slightly. "Lucky for you I happen to know where we could get some Kryptonite for your experiment," Alex told her.

Ruby's face lit up and Alex was certain that she made the right decision. "Thanks Alex," she said excitedly. "Mom did you hear that?"

Sam laughed. "Yes, honey I did." Sam turned her attention to Alex. "We've been struggling with that aspect of her project. I told her she should pick something a little less complicated."

Alex pulled her phone from her pocket and handed to Sam. "So, I can call you, when I get the Kryptonite," she explained. Sam quickly typed her number in and handed the phone back. Alex sent her a text with her name and put her phone away.

After dinner Alex and Kara cleaned up, with help from Ruby, while Sam and Lena prepared for the meeting. Once the kitchen was cleaned, they went back to the living room to play Mario Kart.

"Applied Sciences in Metropolis wants to meet," Lena began. "It's typically a monthly meeting where they present different research projects they want to work on. If it is anti-alien the project is automatically scrapped. Anything that supports aliens will be considered. We have to weigh the costs with potential profit and usefulness."

Sam nodded in understanding. "What about Kryptonians?" Aliens were one thing but Kryptonians were something else entirely.

Lena looked at Kara. "Any projects supporting Kryptonians, especially Supergirl and Superman, are to be approved no matter what."

Sam made a note in her small notebook. "L-Corp is officially pro-alien?"

"We've never been anti-alien," Lena pointed out. "My alien detection device was never met to harm them and once I realized the damage it could do, I destroyed it. I will be in my lab most of tomorrow."

"Care to share what you're working on?" Sam asked.

"Not yet," Lena said. "I want to make sure it works first. I will say it's something for Superman and Supergirl." Kara frowned at Lena, wondering what she could possibly be making for her and Clark.

After another hour Sam felt somewhat confident regarding the upcoming meeting. It helped that Lena would be there to support her. This was her first official act as CEO and it made her incredibly nervous.

"Thanks for everything," Sam said hugging Lena. "I don't know what I would do without you."

"I'm sure you would have been fine," Lena said. "But I'm happy to give you piece of mind. Ruby!"

Ruby sat the controller down. "I almost beat Kara again," Ruby protested. Kara glared at the TV, debating on if it was worth blasting with her heat vision.

"Ruby, you have school in the morning," Sam reminded her. "I'm sure you can beat Kara another day. It was nice to meet you Kara and Alex, it was nice to see you again."

"You too Sam. Ruby I had fun and you're welcome to play Mario Kart with us anytime," Alex said, laughing as Kara pouted.

Ruby ran over and hugged Alex and Kara. "Bye, thanks for letting me play."

"I should probably go too," Alex said once Sam and Ruby were gone. "Kara?"

"Yeah," Kara said reluctantly. Alex cleaned up the last few things in order to give Lena and Kara some privacy. "Thank you, for taking care of me."

"Anytime Kara," Lena said, pushing a strand of Kara's hair back.

Kara shifted in her spot. "I don't want to leave," Kara admitted. "I like being here."

"You are always welcome here Kara," Lena told her. She leaned over and kissed her cheek. "I believe Alex is ready."

"Bye Lena," Kara said before leaving the penthouse with Alex right behind her.

Alex stopped next to Lena and held out her hand. Lena sighed and placed a $100 bill into her hand. "You win this time Danvers."
