This is some needed Danvers sister time... enjoy :)
As Alex enter the apartment hands full of beer and pizza, Kara was setting up Netflix.
"Hey Alex perfect timing. Netflix is a go."
"Hey Kara, I got the food." Alex places the food down on the table.
"YES!" Kara skips over to the table, "are we not going to eat on the couch like normal?"
Alex fidgets, "there's a few things I wanted to talk to you about before Grey's."
Kara sits next to her, "what ever it is you know you can talk to me."
"Yea I know, I want to start off by saying I know a lot is changing but I'm always here for you. Even though Maggie and I have Zack we are still going to have sister night once a week. Maggie and I talked about it and she and Zack will have their bonding time during these nights. I know you have been feeling like I've been distance recently."
Kara ducks her head, "I know it hasn't been your intention. A lot has been changing for you I understand."
"But Kara I need to know when you start feeling like this. I can't read your mind no matter how hard you try. I don't care what I'm doing or who I'm with I will always be there for you but we need to start communicating better."
Kara nods her head.
"Okay now I'm going to show you something and you can freak out as much as you want but just don't break me." Alex pulled a small velvet box from her bag and gave it to Kara.
With wide eyes Kara asked, "is this what I think it is." She opened the box, "oh Rao Alex this is beautiful. Alex. YOUR GETTING MARRIED." Kara zoomed out the window and came back in an instant and hugged Alex.
"Slow down Kara I'm not getting married yet. I haven't even asked Maggie."
"Well when are you going to ask her."
They both sat back down, "first I want to go to blue springs and ask Maggie's aunt first. Maggie talks so highly of her and I think it's only right. Plus there is a lot going on right now and I want Zack to be settled in first. So I was thinking of planning a family vacation for early February to a resort for with a hill for snowboarding, because it was one of her favorite things to do. I'm thinking about asking her there."
"That sounds amazing Alex. Its about time, I mean you already have a house and a child together. Only you would do this backwards." Kara laughed.
Alex nudged Kara, "very funny Kara. So umm… there is something else. So remember the promise you made me make during myriad?"
"Yea?"
"I've been thinking about everything that's happened recently and what the future holds and…" Alex tenses, "I want to increase or training time in the coming months."
"Okay?"
"I want you to be the best you can be in every aspect, with your powers, tactical awareness, hand-to-hand combat. Everything. It's not happening soon but within the next couple years I'm going to step down as a field agent."
"Alex are you sure about this. You've worked so hard to be J'onn's second in command."
"I know but my priorities are changing. I have a family that I have to look after and if I get injured or killed in the field I can't do that. I lost Zack once and I refuse to loose him again. Plus eventually I'll be physically unable to go into the field anyway and I want to focus on my work in the lab-."
Kara cuts Alex off, "wait what do you mean physically unable."
Alex froze, "crap I didn't mean to say that. Uuummm well, Maggie and I want more kids in the future and we've decided that I'm going to carry the next one."
Kara jumped up, "I'm going to have another niece or nephew!"
Alex held out her hands to ease Kara, "not anytime soon but eventually yes."
"Rao Alex I'm so happy for you." Kara hugged Alex.
"Are you okay with this?"
"Okay with it are you kidding? I'm so incredibly happy for you Alex."
"It's just I won't be in the field so I can't protect you. What happens if they have kryptonite I won't be there to protect you."
"Alex that is something for me to worry about. But since we are being honest Lena clued me in on one of her projects and she fears the same. She is trying to create something that protects me from Kryptonite."
Alex looked shocked, "are you serious. How?"
"I honestly don't know but she told me about it last night when you were texting me. She just wants be to be safe. I promise she isn't doing anything dangerous."
"It's not that Kara. Can you tell her that if she wants any help with her project she can come to me and I will be happy to help. Think of it as me bonding with your girlfriend."
"Oh no know that sounds dangerous."
"I can't promise stories won't be told over our work together."
"I'll have to supervise you two then." Kara giggled.
"Okay enough talking, you go queue the movie and I'll get the coffee." Alex walked to the freezer to get the ice cream and spoons. She sat down next to Kara holding out a spoon. The movie began and the two sisters snuggled together.
"I've missed this," Kara said putting the spoon full of vanilla in her mouth.
"Me too sis, me too."
By the time Alex got home, both Zack and Maggie were asleep in their beds. After checking on Zack and giving him a kiss goodnight, the snuggled up behind Maggie.
"mmm you're back," Maggie mumbled.
"yes."
"how was sister night?" Maggie whispered.
"It was great. Go to sleep love," Alex kissed Maggie's shoulder and snuggled closer, drifting off to sleep within seconds.
