I decided to do this episode chapter a little differently. I decided to make this sorta of a introspective chapter, based around the thoughts of Kara and Steve. There are a couple of reveals, one has to do with what I have planned for a future chapter of A Scarlet Spider, and something that will change the direction of this story. And I hope you all like it.
Also, I will be starting classes next week, so updates will take time again. But I felt I got a good amount of updates in since summer began, and the time I had during my summer class.
I own none of the content, and I hope you all enjoy!
Mr and Mrs Mxzyptlk
Steve Rogers by now had gotten somewhat used to what the future had to offer since coming out of the ice. The war was won, more historical events happened, technology became better. More people with powers were coming out of the woodwork, than there was during his time. Aliens a normal occurrence to the point they were treated as citizens, well to an extent, there were people like Cadmus who didn't want them on Earth, nor cared for their existence.
He was part of the people who welcomed them with open arms. And some it had to do with the fact he was dating one. If you had told him all of that was going to happen, and also becoming a super soldier, back when he was scrawny kid from Brooklyn. Then he would've been concerned for your mental health, and call the hospital to haul you to a Mental Institution.
But now, he couldn't believe what was going on.
There he was spending time with Kara, which always made his heart jump, and he didn't know what he would do without his amazing, funny, adorable girlfriend. He was glad he got this second chance at finding that special someone after losing his shot with Peggy.
The needed some time with each other after the past couple of days. But the next thing he knew, some sort of ball of energy started fly around Kara's apartment, and then formed into a man. Who to the shock of them, proclaimed his love to Kara.
"First, let's set the mood!" He then said, and he then used what he assumed was either his powers, or magic.
The next thing they knew, he was using what they assumed was his powers, or magic. He used them to place candles, a small band playing classical music, flowers. And the final thing that made him jealous, and gape in shock was pulling out a ring, and kneeling in front of Kara.
He made some small speech on why he was the one, and then asked Kara to marry him.
Steve had enough of the nonsense, and he stood in front of Kara, and gave this Mxzyptlk guy a firm glare.
Now, he didn't considering himself a jealous person, unless you counted when he though Peggy and Howard were a thing. But he wasn't sure what to think about this guy, he said his name already, but he didn't think he could pronounce it.
But with all the things he just did, he felt something in the pit of his stomach that he didn't like.
"Now listen here buddy, you can't barge into someone's home, and do all of this. And also, she's already with someone, me. Now, can we stop all of this, and talk about what is going on?" Steve said, trying to defuse this confusing situation.
"The other suitor! I didn't see you there, tall, blonde, and insignificant. You may be a Captain and have the authority. But your authority means nothing to me, and the rank of you being my romantic rival. Both nothing, and your nothing but a pest in my way.
Steve growled in a threatening manner. He wasn't going to let this guy belittle him, nor have Kara to himself. He didn't let bullies get their way, and sure wasn't going to let this guy as well.
Steve pulled back, and tried to punch him. Mxzyptlk disappeared, and reappeared behind him.
"What the…" He said in confusion.
"Invisible is a good look on you. Let's play to your strengths." Mxzyptlk said
Steve was about to march over to him, but the next thing he knew, he was standing in the middle of the DEO. And he was also in his socks, boxers, and undershirt.
He felt both embarrassed, and angry, mostly the former. All the agents on duty were looking at him.
"Cap." J'onn said in confusion as he walked by him.
Steve slightly waved at everyone, and heard someone gasp. He turned around to see M'gann, much to his increasing embarrassment.
M'gann was blushing and said," Hey Cap, why are you in your underwear?"
"Uh… I'm gonna kill him." He muttered.
Both Steve and Kara soon found it Mxzyptlk was from the 5th Dimension, and his powers let him warp reality. After hearing that, Steve felt like he should've stayed in the past. Kara had agreed with him, and said she wouldn't have minded going with him.
J'onn and Mon-El had experience with them, mainly Mon-El. Apparently Daxam had zero-tolerance, and that stood to reason they were killed immediately. Steve found that a bit extreme, but Mon-El had said it was the way it was.
Kara reassured him they would continue what they were doing later, or go someplace nice, once she took care of Mxzyptlk or Mxzy, which was how Kara nicknamed him.
Steve would've made a joke about it, but he wasn't sure if he could hear them… that was sorta nerve wracking.
He was jealous, and feeling sorta inadequate, not that he would ever tell Kara. Mxzyptlk had been upping his game with trying to win Kara's heart. He had tried to help her with a robbery, sent flowers to her loft, and also sent a bad guy Kara had previously fought so he could fight it himself in a bad version of Superman's suit.
Steve was tempted to point out how he should've known the thing on Kara's chest was her family's crest, not for some kind of initial like Mxzyptlk did.
How vain could someone get?
He had actually said that out loud once he left.
And from what he could understand, Mxzyptlk was trying to win Kara by being her equal, and proving how heroic he was.
That made him mad, Kara didn't want someone as her equal, she wanted someone she could relate to as Kara Danvers, not Supergirl, like her for who she was, in all her adorkable (he learned that from M'gann), honest, intelligent, caring… heck he could go on for hours for how much he loved her.
Ok… he really needed think on that train of thought as well.
Another problem was he and Kara had gotten into an argument on what they should do about him. And also inadvertently telling each other their slight faults.
Mon-El had also gotten into the conversation, due to them finding out from him that besides killing them, making them say their names backwards also makes them disappear.
Steve and Kara hoped to go with that option. Unfortunately, Mon-El got into his head about fighting for one's honor and integrity. And that made him think about facing Mxzyptlk alone, so they could talk man to man.
And with the help of a device Winn had brought in along with some other stuff that could effect 5th Dimensional being (he would have to apologize to Winn and J'onn for stealing it later.) he wouldn't be able to use his powers.
Kara felt like crying as she processed what she had just said.
After she had saved Steve, he had gotten the idea (she suspected Mon-El had helped him) to confront Mxzyptlk. She knew his heart was in the right place, but he could've done something bad to him. So she had come up with the idea to agreeing to marry him. When Steve had returned from being transported somewhere again, she didn't ask, due to time constraints. He had tried to talk her out of it, but she set her mind to her plan.
But she made up some of her reasoning for agreeing with it. And it broke her heart to see the heartbroken expression on his face. Rao, she never wanted to see him like that again.
Like she and Mxyz would make a great team, but in reality she and Steve did. He was her Captain, and he was a lot better than Mxzyptlk, who treated her as if being powerful and heroic was her only traits.
While Steve, he saw her for who she was. He saw her as Kara Danvers, not just as Supergirl. It was one of his traits she loved about him.
Oh Rao… she needed to think on that. But not now, now she had to get rid of a 5th Dimensional being.
'You can't force love, Mxzyptlk, you have to let it find you.'
'Well…I'm sorry then… I'm happy to know that it has already found you.'
Kara had thought about those words before Mxzyptlk disappeared. She was now back in her loft, and waiting for Steve, after she had called him.
She should've asked one of her female friends for help on the subject, but M'gann and Bette was busy helping Peter and Caitlin on Earth-1. She didn't catch the whole story, but it had something to do with Gorillas, and Planet of the Apes. She should've gone with her, but she assured her and J'onn that she could handle it, and she had Peter, Caitlin and Bette to watch her. So they both settled on that.
While Alex was busy on a date with Maggie, and Natasha went to do something. She didn't know what, but she heard her heartbeat, which was slightly faster for some reason.
She got out of her train of thought when she heard someone knock on her door. She used her X-Ray vision to see who it was, and was relieved to see it was Steve.
She walked over and opened the door, and he had a relieved look. He walked in, and she closed the door, and they were both silent for a moment.
"Hey, uh, J'onn said you took care of Mxzyptlk, and I got your text." He said.
"Yeah… I just want to say I am so sorry for what I said. I didn't-"
"No, no it's fine. I sorta realized what you were doing as I was walking out of the building. It was pretty smart though, especially with how you beat him. It's your smarts that I admire." Steve said.
Kara blushed, then grinned and said," Well, I do also have to compliment on how you pretended not to be jealous throughout this. It was both cute and flattering."
Now it was time for Steve to blush, and Kara giggled.
Kara then got serious and said," I hope whatever we said, didn't change our relationship in anyway. Cause, being with you, is great. And you make me feel special, and treat me like a normal person."
Steve grinned and said," Same for me. You helped me during a time I thought I was lost, but you brought me out of it, and helped me experience what this new world has to offer. And you also treat me like a normal person. Whether either of us is Captain America, or Supergirl."
Kara smiled, and leaned in, and so did Steve. As they kissed, Kara let out a sigh of contentment as she held him around his neck, while Steve held her lower back.
Kara left a small peck and then said," Well, considering we finally have some time to ourselves, do you want to go out for dinner?"
Steve pretended to consider it and said," I guess, as long as I get to pay, and you get to choose where to go."
"It's a deal. Just let me get changed."
As Kara left, and Steve went to sit down they both came to startling realization about something. Something that will change their relationship.
'I'm in love with her/him.' They thought in realization.
So, what do you all think? They won't tell each other yet, but soon, and you can all guess when that will be.
Till next time.
