A/N: I'm fangirling over my own story. I love this so much. Read and Review! Enjoy!
Lena sat at home, gently twisting the stem of her wine glass. She was on her second glass of wine while a movie played in the background. Lena was currently wearing sweatpants, an MIT t-shirt, her hair thrown up haphazardly in a messy bun. Her phone was plugged in and abandoned on the kitchen counter, glad to have a break from the constant conference calls and alerts to meetings. Lena tried to pay attention to the movie, but it was fruitless. She couldn't get the thought of her new assistant Kara Danvers out of her head.
Lena allowed herself a few moments to think about the girl. She honestly didn't know what to expect when she stepped out of the elevator that morning. The girl was very bubbly in the interview the day before, but also somewhat rehearsed. She was sure someone helped her come up with generic answers to the questions interviewers usually ask. But, when Lena probed the girl to talk about herself, she got an honest answer. That's all she wanted. Lena likes to see people for who they really are before passing judgments. She herself knew how it felt to be judged on name alone, so it was her golden rule to not pre-judge anyone she came across, only passing judgement after getting to know the person.
When Lena saw the girl earlier that morning, she made her physically think about placing one foot in front of the other while stepping out of the elevator. This startled the CEO, usually she was the one causing people to falter in their step. This bubbly blonde was the first person to ever catch Lena off guard. She remembered gazing at the girl as she walked towards her and James, glad she still had her sunglasses on. She looked the girl up and down, taking in her outfit choice. Her button up with lace shoulders left little to the imagination muscle-wise, Lena getting lost in the girl's shoulders and the way her biceps flexed. Lena never knew she had a thing for forearm muscles until she saw Kara's gently ripple when the blonde reached up to fix her glasses. Lena made a point to not look at the girl's legs, knowing she had them on full display and the CEO would definitely be caught oogling the new assistant. That was strictly unprofessional.
Lena felt a fluttering sensation in her chest when she thought about Kara's smile. Reaching a hand to her chest, she though about Kara beaming at her with everything she had, and Lena was sure there was nothing on this earth more beautiful then that smile. Lena couldn't bear to only see it through her sunglasses, so she slid them down. She should have kept them on, because the brilliance of the blonde's smile blinded Lena for a bit. Lena shook her head at that thought. Too cliche for the CEO.
Lena then smiled, thinking about how bumbling the girl was. She ran into James several times, and always seemed to stutter when someone addressed her. It was like Kara didn't think she was worth being spoke to, and anytime she was it made the girl stutter in disbelief. Lena took a healthy swig of her wine. She felt a bit of jealousy when she went to leave for the day, seeing Kara's brilliant smile and hearing her laugh at something James had said. She may love James dearly, but she could have killed him in that moment. Lena's jealousy seeped away when she remembered smiling at Kara, and the blonde stood and stared at Lena in disbelief. She was adorable.
Lena then realized where her train of thought was going. Downing the rest of her wine and getting up to pour another glass, Lena told herself she was going to stop the nonsense of thinking about her new assistant in that way. Lena was not gay, she simply was married to her work, and that was a full time relationship. Smiling at reassuring herself, Lena sat back down on her couch and made sure to pay attention to the rest of her movie, keeping a certain blonde out of her thoughts.
Kara opened her apartment door, and walked in. Quickly slipping her shoes off and taking her glasses off, she closed the door to her apartment and walked into the living room. She saw Alex napping on her couch, giggled at the position she was in. She was on her stomach, one arm off the side, and one leg was over the back of the couch. Kara walked quietly in order to not wake the slumbering sister. Kara grabbed the throw blanket and pulled it over her sister, and leaned down to place a kiss on her forehead. Kara then walked into her room to change out of her work clothes and into something more comfortable. She heard Alex stirring when she was pulling her shirt on, and she walked back out into her living room while she put her hair up.
"Hey." Alex mumbled sleepily. She stood up slowly and opened her arms, and Kara stepped into them, hugging her sister. "Hey sleeping beauty. Long day?"
Kara and Alex both had their own apartments, but many nights the sisters spend sleeping over at one or the others' apartment. They were so connected that when they were alone they felt like a part of them was missing. So they spent the majority of their evenings together, only working late or hangouts with friends forcing the sisters to sleep alone at their respective apartments.
Alex sighed into Kara's embrace. "Like you wouldn't believe." She said. She pulled away from her sister, and smiled at her. "How was your first day as Miss Luthor's assistant?" Alex said with a waggle to her eyebrows. Kara tilted her head back as she laughed, and said, "it was good! I think James and I will be good friends. Hold on, lets order takeout and then we can talk about the craziness of our days." Kara said excitedly, and pulled out her phone. She had all the takeout places that deliver on speed-dial, and soon Kara's kitchen table was overflowing with pizza and chinese food.
Alex sat on the stool at Kara's island, and Kara pulled herself up to sit criss cross on the counter. Kara shoved a potsticker in her mouth, and looked at Alex. "You go first." She mumbled around chewing a beloved potsticker, and Alex wrinkled her nose at the sight of Kara talking with her mouth open.
"Okay, where to start..." Alex mused, and Kara was quick to help her sister out. "Start from the beginning, duh!" Kara laughed, and Alex rolled her eyes at Kara. "Of course I'm going to start from the beginning. So, I kinda met somebody today..." Alex started, and glanced up to see her sisters reaction. The next thing she knew her sister was on the stool next to her. "Details! Please! Now!" Alex laughed at her sister's excitedness.
"Okay okay. I was at a crime scene with J'onn analyzing the attack of an alien that was targeting the president. I look up and I saw this police officer surveying the damage to an area of the scene. I had no clue who she was, and she obviously wasn't DEO, so I walked over and asked her what the hell she was doing at my crime scene. She showed me her badge, saying her name is Detective Maggie Sawyer. I told her I was FBI, and she needed to get out because she was contaminating my evidence." Alex quickly told Kara the rest of the story, and once Alex was done, she sat back and raised an eyebrow at her sister.
"What?" Alex asked, and Kara just smiled. "You like her." She stated simply. Alex stared at her sister in disbelief. "I do not!" She defended herself, but Kara was just nodding and scooping another mouthful of noodles into her mouth. Once she chewed and swallowed, Kara put her container down and grabbed her sisters hand.
"Alex, you would have focused more on the damage the alien caused and speculated on the species of alien more if meeting this Maggie was insignificant. You just sat there and talked to me about this girl for five minutes straight. I'm not even sure you took a breath!" Kara quickly dodged her sisters hand coming to slap her.
"Alex has a cruuuushhh!" Kara sang and skipped around the island, grabbing a slice of pizza. Alex rolled her eyes, and put her head into her hands. "My sister is a child..." She mumbled to herself, and smiled when she heard Kara laugh.
Both of the sisters were gay. Alex came out to her sister and mother first, then Kara followed suit a few weeks later. It brought the two sisters closer in a way, because now they didn't have to hide who they were and they could relate to how the other was feeling. Their mother supported them fully, having bought and hung a rainbow flag proudly outside their house the next day after Alex came out. It was nice to have someone who understood you, and it was a plus that this person for Alex was her sister, even if Kara only talked about serious stuff when she had food in her hands and they were under a blanket.
"Anyway," Alex said, moving the conversation off of her. "How was working for Lena today?" Alex noticed the small blush creep up her cheeks at the mention of the CEO, and stowed that information away later. She had a feeling Kara liked Lena, because she gushed about working there one day as soon as the headlines showed Lena took over the corporation. It was rare to have a woman CEO be taken seriously in National City, and Kara had admired the brunette from afar for the better part of a year.
"Well, when I got there..." Kara started, narrating every single thing she did that day. Alex laughed when Kara told her she accidentally came out to James when she thought he was flirting with her. Kara stopped herself from mentioning anything about Lena that wasn't strictly professional. But, in Kara's mind, she couldn't get the CEO out of her head. The second she saw her when the elevator doors opened, she knew she had it bad. Maybe it was the way Lena seemed to brim with confidence, or the way she walked, or the way her smile made Kara's chest flutter... Kara's eyes widened when she realized she said all of this out loud to her sister, and Alex quirked an eyebrow and smirked at her sister.
"Seems like I'm not the only one who met someone today." Alex said, and quickly dodged the piece of crust that flew towards her head. "I know! We should make you look hot tomorrow and see if Lena can focus on her work!" Alex said, already hatching a plan on what Kara could wear and how to do her makeup. Kara looked good enough already, but the help of clothes that accentuated her alien physique and makeup that brought out the softness in Kara's face would have the CEO checking out her new assistant. Alex didn't know if Lena was gay, or if Maggie was, so it wouldn't hurt for the sisters to run a few experiments to find out, would it?
Kara rolled her eyes at her sister. "Alex, I'm already hot enough. She's straight, it won't work." Kara mumbled. "But, we can make you look hot for Maggie!" Kara said waggling her eyebrows.
Alex smiled at her sister, and said, "I think it's time for alcohol" She got up and pulled the bottle of tequila out of Kara's fridge while Kara nodded and got the shot glasses out of the cupboard. Both girls tried to keep thoughts about their respective crushes at bay, and enjoy the time they had with one another.
