A/N: okay not my best work, but something needed to be updated for my lovely readers. I would be on the lookout for the next chapter later today, which will entail the first girls' night between our favorite couples. I will try to incorporate things from season 3 like Lena taking over Catco and Sam but since I haven't watched much of the new season they will be with my own musings i.e Sam may or may not take on the role of reign in my story, we will see when it comes up. Edge will still be a source of hate so don't worry there.

She Has Too Have Something

Chapter 6

James' P.O.V

Game night was finally upon us in just a few short hours and I am determined to get Kara to come to this one. I understand the woman has a busy schedule what being Supergirl and an up and coming reporter but she has been absent in the last dozen or so game nights, and the ones she does attend she gives off the vibe that she would rather be somewhere else.

Looking out from my office...well let's all be honest it is still Cat Grant's office until her eventual return...and spot Kara talking on the phone, her hands gesturing wildly and while there is a smile on her face, the Crinkle has made its appearance.

Walking out of the office and up to her desk I catch what I only assume is the tail end of the conversation.

"Okay, but only if you are sure?" Kara rubs at her forehead with her free hand. "Yea I know, L..." That's when she looks up and stops. "I will get with Alex and set it up, okay?"…" Okay, James is here, I gotta go... You too...uh..." And that is the moment a blush that rivals the sun blossoms across the Kara's face and I tilt my head in curiosity. "What...uh... now come one that isn't fair!" She laughs out. "hmm okay bye...I will get you back for that!" She says quickly before she hands up.

And it is just a flash, a brief second where I wonder if my eyes were deceiving me, but as Kara goes to set her phone down, before the person on the other end has a chance to hang up I see a name 'Lena Luthor' across the screen...and I have no idea what to make of that.

"What can I do for you, boss?" She says with a smile.

"Who was that?" I can't stop myself from asking.

"Oh just a friend, nothing important." She says and she is stone faced...and that in and of itself is intriguing because while the woman could hide the fact she is Supergirl from most of the people she deals with, it is in this moment that I can't detect a single one of her tells...strange...

I put the name on the phone to the back of mind for the time being, work was not the time to ask Kara why she was talking to Lena Luthor in such a friendly way. "Game night tonight, I think Alex and Maggie are hosting tonight, are you going to be there?"

I see her look back down at her phone before looking at her computer, clearly contemplating something if the crinkle was anything to go by that was marring her Kryptonian features. "Um, yea...yea I will be there, it's been awhile since I've been to a game night. Unless something comes up, you can count me in, I'll bring the pizza and pot stickers." She says with a smile looking back down at her buzzing phone, but instead of looking at the message she flips the phone over blocking my view of the name on the screen, but I have an inkling of who it was.

"Okaaay...I'll see you tonight then Kara." And walking away, I notice she barely registers my words or my exit, too involved in her phone.

Sitting back down at my desk I observe Kara a few more seconds before I continue reading over articles and photos for the next issue. And I can't help but think that something is going on between Lena Luthor and Kara...and I am not sure if I like the implication of Kara's smile while talking with Lex's sister...

Maggie's P.O.V.

"So, you mean to tell me that when I dropped Kara off at her apartment Lena was there?" I asked as I sat out snacks for game night while Alex grabbed several games from the hall closest.

"Yup."

"Did Kara invite her to game night?"

"Doubtful, Lutho..." I heard a sigh. "Lena said that may be too much too soon for her. She wants to have a night where it is just her and Kara and us before she is thrown to the wolves." Alex comes walking into the living room with a frown on her face.

"How are you taking all of this?"

"She slapped me..."

"WHAT?!"

"Lena, she slapped me when I questioned why she was with my sister, if she wanted something from her," Alex shrugged. "I mean, do I wish Kara loved someone else, yea, I really do. It is going to take some getting used to them together."

"Okay, slapping my girlfriend aside, has Lena actually done anything to warrant our disdain other than being a Luthor?"

"No," Alex whispers before walking over to me and kissing my forehead, who would have thought the big bad federal agent going soft. "I really think Lena loves my sister, do I think she has some long-planned scheme against my sister, no not really. I want to hate her, I really do, but the way the both of them light up when talking about the other is so movie like it nearly makes me sick."

I chuckle softly planting a quick kiss on the agents' lips. "It's perfectly within your right as the big sister to an alien that lost her whole world to be overprotective. But Kara is an adult Alex, even if this is a huge mistake, she has to find out on her own. I don't really want the youngest Luthor anywhere around my soon to be sister-in-law either, but I trust Kara enough to handle her own love life."

Again, Alex sighs and her shoulders drop. "I know, but..."

"No buts." I say sternly.

"I still don't trust her...not yet anyway." Alex growls.

"I don't trust her either sweetheart." I say when I hear the first knock of the night.

Walking over to the door I open it to reveal Winn and James, both carrying various types of alcohol and take out bags. "I'm guessing by the sheer volume of food that Kara said she was coming tonight?" I ask laughing.

"Yea, she told James earlier that she would be here unless something came up." Winn said walking over to Alex after dumping starting up a whispering conversation, more than likely about Kara and Lena away from James' ears.

"Do you know when Kara is supposed to show up?" I ask James to tear his questioning eyes from Alex and Winn.

"No," he said shaking his head. "She might not have most of her powers back but she does have her hunger back so I would say any minute now." He said chuckling.

One Hour Later

About half a game through charades, a knock sounds at the door that we all know from its upbeat nature belongs to Kara. Before any of us can get up Winn is already halfway to the door.

"I'll go get some more popcorn for the bottomless pit." I say walking back to the kitchen.

On my way pass I hear Winn mutter to Kara about wiping the lipstick off of her neck. I can't stop the snort of laughter that catches Kara's attention and I swear her eyes squint in questioning as she quickly pushes passed Winn to follow me into the kitchen.

"You know." It is a statement, one filled with thinly veiled threats.

I nod. "Yea, yea I know, I also take it that Lena is why you are late?" I ask turning around to stare the Super straight in the eye.

"I can always leave and go back to her if you don't want me here." Kara's voice is steady and steel.

I turn back around and grab the popcorn out of the microwave and pour it into a bowl all before answering Kara. "I don't want you to leave, just like I know Alex doesn't want you to leave. She's trying to understand and by you being here will help the both of us cope with this sudden development." I turn back around.

"I love her, I'll give you the same speech I gave my sister if that isn't enough for you though." I shake my head. "Anyway, Lena wants to have a night with just the four of us, dinner with drinks afterwards at her place? No funny business. Lena wants to get to know the two of you."

"I'll ask Alex when we both have a day off." And just like that Kara's face relaxes and a megawatt smile lightens her features.

And it is just like that, game night moves on with Kara's flimsy excuse to James about a last-minute lead on an article she is writing. Though I know James notices, just like the rest of us do that Kara religiously checks her phone with a large smile that can only be described as love struck, and I think that maybe this whole Kara and Lena dating isn't the worst thing in the world, anyone who can make the walking sun smile larger than she normally does has to have something that the rest of us are failing to see.
