CHAPTER 3

Kara Pov

Usually I don't like parties. They're too loud with too many people all at once. Their voices are normally too loud due to alcohol. Too much music blasting out of cheap speakers all the sound makes it too hard to focus. At Oliver's party the house is big enough for people to spread out.

Mon-El and I are outside in the backyard. Standing in a circle with Caitlin, Cisco, Barry, Iris, and their new friend Ralph. Barry was right Mon-el and Ralph have been talking all night; about some book Ralph is working on about life. Oliver comes outside carrying a folded-up table over his shoulder.

Sara is slightly behind him, arms full of chilled liquor bottles. Felicity is beside Oliver she's carrying stacks of cups with one arm. Her other arm at her side, hand tangled with Oliver's.

"Nice to see you two finally opened your eyes." I say causing Felicity to turn a light shade of pink. Felicity's new blush matches the lazy smile so easily on Oliver's face.

"Want to play beer pong with us Kara?"

"No thank you." I shake my head, sinking further into Mon-El. Ready to watch the game unfold instead.

"You love games. You should play" Mon-El says.

I turn my head so I'm looking up at him. His blue eyes gleaming with excitement. He's so cute. His bright eyes. His white smile straight and shining in the moonlight. His sharp jawline shadowed with stubble. Features working together the way prince Charming's always do. No matter who's playing him. I suppose back on Daxum he was a real-life Prince Charming. Used to his looks being enough to earn him an automatic "yes" to whatever he wanted.

Here on Earth he has to try at everything. Try to use the right words. He has to try to laugh at the right time during a joke. Jokes he might not even understand. He spends his time trying to find popular topics to talk about with the people he wants to belong with. Trying to turn the loss of his world into a second chance. A chance to be someone new, someone better. Someone good.

"We could be a team" Barry says.

"Let's crush it Speedster." I grin at Mon-El pecking his cheek, before I go stand on one end of the ping-pong table.

Barry super speeds around the table. Setting up thick triangles constructed of plastic cups on both ends of the table. Barry is beside me now his smile wide and bright like we've already won the game.

"That's not fair. Neither one of you can get drunk" Oliver says.

"Don't worry we got that covered." Cisco says.

He pulls a small vial of red liquid from his pocket. Taking a couple bottles of beer splitting them between half the cups on our side of the table. He tips the vial into each of the cups he just poured beer into.

"A little invention I created allowing you to get drunk my friend."

"We've also found this Alien rum." Sara says, picks up a bottle pouring liquid into the half of cups that will be mine. "Now it's fair. Enjoy it super team."

Who would've thought Oliver and Sara would be so good at beer pong! My voice sounds a lot louder than normal. My skin feels warm. I feel warm all over. "I want to play another game!"

"I don't think that would be a good idea Supergirl." Sara says giggling her laugh is pretty.

"I can see why my sister likes you. She doesn't have a crush on you anymore though. I think she might like Lena. Which is good because Lena likes her."

"You're chatty sober and drunk. Good to know."

"One more game?" I pout knowing it acts like Kryptonite for everyone else and I normally get what I want.

"Kara you're down a partner." Sara points to Barry who is slumped over, sleeping in a chair.

"He'll be fine. He just needs a little a nap."

"Kara he's snoring" Oliver says.

I try my pout one last time.

"Come on let's go take a walk Supergirl." Mon-El says.

Before I can respond by pouting some more, Mon-El scoops me up. The whole world spins into a blur of black and green cold wind and specks of silver moonlight. Mon-El lays me down the grass is soft beneath me. The night air cold against my warm skin. My vision spins coming in and out of focus. The stars blurry fuzzy dots in the sky. For a second I'm afraid I might throw up.

"Okay lesson learned don't drink and super speed."

"Sorry." Mon-El says, laying down beside me. I can hear the smile in his voice, as I move closer to him.

"I wanted to play another game."

I know you did, but I thought looking at the stars would be more romantic, or so many movies have told me.

I can tell we're still on the Queen's grounds, but probably on the edge. With how distant the lights and sounds of the party. I know I wouldn't be hear it if I didn't have my powers.

Under the stars in relative quiet I lean in and kiss Mon-El for the first time.
