Chapter 5

Alex Pov

After a sleepless night positioned outside the bedroom, I saw Lena duck into when she ran from me last night. I stuck my head in every hour or so to make sure Lena and Barry were okay.

It was a rainy Monday night the start of spring break Lena was over for a movie night. I looked across our living room and Lena wasn't Lena anymore. It was just a smile that she gave me, but it was a smile that made a warmth spread throughout my body. I have spent the last two months trying to sort out my feelings for Lena. I was going to take it slow and try to read her reactions before I said anything, of even if I would say anything. Then last night I rushed everything, possibly blew it up with that one stupid kiss.

I pull my phone out fighting back the wave of tears as I look at my background. A picture of Lena, Kara and I from the movie night on that rainy Monday. We were laying on the floor tangled up in a mass of blankets. Lena is in the middle of Kara and I both Kara and I have our chins on Lena's shoulders. Lena and Kara are smiling up at the phone. I seem to be too busy smiling at Lena to notice though.

Once I hear movement downstairs, I wipe my eyes and put my phone away.

"Kara, I need to talk to you now." I race down the stairs of the Queen Mansion two at a time trying to keep my stomps quiet.

Kara and Mon-El are cuddled together on the living room floor. A blanket thrown over them.

"Shh… Alex you're being too loud."

Kara's hair is a mess, blonde strands splayed across Mon-El's chest. Her eyes are bloodshot with light gray circles under them.

"Kar, I'm whispering you're hungover. Wait how are you hungover?"

"Alien cocktails" her eyes are drifting closed.

I hear someone start to move upstairs. "Come on Kara. We can go grab the greasiest breakfast we can find in this city."

At this Kara opens her eyes all the way. It's nice to know that even as hungover as she may be food can still grab her attention. She untangles her limbs from Mon-El. Her movements are sluggish and awkward. Mon-El groans beside her.

"Go back to sleep." Her voice is a little rough as she whispers to him. I watch her place her lips quickly to his forehead, before she gets to her feet.

"That's new" I say.

"I kissed him last night."

"I kissed Lena last night."

Kara stops putting on her shoes. One shoe is on her right foot, still unlaced. A bright blue sock is only halfway on her left foot.

"You what?"

I roll my eyes tossing her, her left shoe. "Come on we should go get food so we can be back when people start waking up.

She catches her shoe in midair after fumbling a little bit.

"Wow you're really hungover.'

"I can't find my glasses." She searches her pockets and the blankets around her.

"We will find them when we get back. Come on Kar."

"People need to be quiet" Kara says, a whiney tone creeping into her words.

"You'll be alright Kar. Focus on my heartbeat if you need too."

I put an arm around her shoulders ushering her into a mostly empty café. We take a seat at a circular table near the entrance. I place an order for three chocolate glazed doughnuts and a coke for Kara; with a cream filled doughnut and a coffee for myself.

"I thought coffee was supposed to help hangovers." Kara asks as I place the coke in front of her.

"That's a myth."

She nods, then winces clutching her head, before she takes a sip of her drink. "What happened after you kissed Lena?"

She ran away, back to the party." I look down at the blackness swirling around in my mug; not wanting too see Kara's blue eyes. In case they might be glowing.

"You let our friend go off by herself in a party where she doesn't know anyone else! What were you thinking Alex?"

I know. I know. Lena can take care of herself though."

"I know she can. Still you left her alone when she was vulnerable on a foreign planet."

"You're right Kar I messed up.

"Yeah you did."

Kara waves the waitress over.

"I would like to buy all your doughnuts and any other bake goods you may have." She reaches for my wallet before I can stop her, she hands the waitress my credit card with a smile.

"Yes of course, we will get your order ready for you as quick as we can." The waitress goes to swipe my card.

Kara turns back to me. "I was going to put this large order on my card and take the heat from Eliza myself but now I think you deserve this."

I walk into the mansion my arms full of paper bags from Big Belly Burger. In hopes of a peace offering for both Kara and Lena.

"Breakfast everyone" Kara calls dumping stacks of pink bakery boxes on the coffee table.

"Thanks Kara." Oliver says sitting on the couch. A blonde asleep on his chest. "Everyone else went home already so it's just us." He motions to Barry and Lena playing cards.

"Lee, I brought your favorite from Big Belly Burger."

"Thanks," she takes the bag without looking at me.

"Where's Mon-El? Kara asks already taking a bite of a doughnut.

"He's in the kitchen trying to fix something." Barry says, placing a card on top of Lena's." Lena and Oliver shoot him dangerous look.

"I mean in the kitchen trying to cook something." Barry grins placing another card down even though it isn't his turn.

Kara's crinkle has formed in the middle of her forehead, but she shrugs grabbing her fifth doughnut of the morning.

"I think I'm going to go see if he needs any help." Lena says, abandoning her cards and walking to the kitchen.

"Hey, Alex Can we talk?" Barry asks putting his cards down as well.

"Yeah, sure Barry. What's up?"

He leads us out away from earshot of the others, well except for Kara, and I hope she takes the hint and doesn't listen in on us.

"I talked to Lena last night. She told me about what happened with you guys last might." He looks at me for permission to keep talking.

I nod trying to brace myself for whatever's coming.

"Give her some space. Let her try and sort her feelings out, but if you're serious about her. Show her that this wasn't a onetime drunken kiss.

His smile is wide, and kind. His blue eyes are sparkling with kindness and suddenly I'm so grateful that this boy accidently sped his way on to our earth last summer. Sometimes Barry Allen knows the perfect words to say.
