As always I own nothing. As always Reviews are welcomed.
The first chapter of this story was written after 2x05 aired but before 2x06 did. That is why how Alex comes out to Kara is different than in the show.
This chapter was written after 2x07 aired and starts after Alex comes back into Kara's apartment after talking to Maggie in the hallway.
"How was that?" asks Kara as I open the door. Damn her hearing sometimes, everyone always thinks the worst part about living with a Kryptonian is the x-ray vision, but for me it was always the hearing. If Kara was paying attention she would hear the fluctuations in my heartbeat.
"Spy much?" I shoot back at her and walk towards the island in her kitchen. She chuckles at the statement, "it was good we are just going to be friends."
"Okay." Kara nods. I'm not sure she believes me, but she lets it go and says, "we are going to find Jeremiah, Alex, I swear."
Between recently discovering I am gay and Kara seeing Dad at Cadmus my tear ducts have been working overtime. Ever since finding out Dad was still alive I've been picturing him being strapped down and experimented on.
"But he seemed... um... okay?" I didn't ask her back at the DEO after I heard she had escaped Cadmus. I just organized a team and went to the location hoping to find him. It was the question I had been most scared to ask. To even think about. What if Dad car back wrong? What if he wasn't the same father or worse what if after fifteen years with people like Cadmus he wouldn't see his family the way he did when he left. What if he blamed us?
"He saved me. And he was still him." I hope she was right and she isn't just seeing the good that is left in him.
"I still can't believe Lena's mother is the head of Cadmus." Well actually I can kind of believe it, but I can't keep thinking and talking about Dad. There isn't much more to say until we find him.
"I wonder if she knows."
"I want know what Cadmus wants with your blood." Kara echoes my curiosity. I hope they aren't trying to make another Bizzaro, cause that was just...odd.
"Hey so we can't decide what to watch, Winn said that you two should pick between Wynonna Earp, it's based off...a... comic series or this some sort of medical show, Grey's Anatomy, where the doctors sleep around or he said something about a show called Glee where they...sing?" says Mon-el as he comes into the kitchen on his crutches.
"Uh no to Grey's Anatomy, too much relationship drama for the night." I say.
"We should watch Glee! Alex never wants to watch it with me." Kara practically shouts.
"Or... we could try this Wynonna Earp. Anything to avoid you singing along like you are apart of the cast." I say.
"Fine. Dash my dreams of becoming a singer," says Kara in an overly dramatic tone. I fling the towel in her direction. She catches and begins to laugh. We head into her living room and settle into watching Winn's choice for the night.
We watched a few episodes before the boys took off. Winn said he would drop Mon-el off at the DEO in order to sleep.
"So are you sure you can handle being friends with Maggie?" asks Kara.
"I don't know. She said she liked me, but because I'm 'fresh off the boat' and the situation is just weird. So I told her pool tomorrow night." "Fresh off the boat?" Oh, that's right I never could get the words out after Maggie told me that. I remember only telling Kara that Maggie didn't like me like that, but I couldn't get much more out after that.
"Yea, after I kissed her last week. She told me that everything was new and shiny and that she'd be there as a friend, but that she didn't want me because I'm so new to all of this."
"So does Maggie like you? Cause tonight it certainly sounded like she has some sort of feelings for you."
"I... don't know what she is feeling for me, but we are just going to be friends. We're going to play pool tomorrow night."
"So do we tell Eliza that I saw Jeremiah at Cadmus when she comes for Thanksgiving?"
"I think we have to. She should know what is going on."
"Are you going to tell her about Maggie?"
"I know I probably should, but I'm not sure. We have a lot more important things to talk about when she gets into town."
"Alex, you coming out is important to. You can't just put your life on the back burner. So tell her, you could tell her at dinner. Or before since the guys are coming over."
I've been thinking about how best to tell Mom, but nothing had really come to mind. I mean I am almost thirty and now I am gay and I like women, well I like one woman in particular, but I have been noticing other women when I go out. I wish I didn't feel like I was back in high school and I felt like I know what I am doing. Maggie did say this would get easier and that I should tell my family so maybe I will have another coming out this Thanksgiving. Hopefully this is the last Thanksgiving I have to hear the phrased used in my direction around Thanksgiving.
