Blindsided
Soon, it was time to eat, and Bruce had decided to outdo himself by getting both teams to join together and share the pizza — he was paying for it, of course. They weren't rivals on the field anymore, they were friends. Kara was happy, even if Cat didn't believe a word the millionaire said.
"Hey, Cat," Barbara approached her, sitting besides her and she was surprised by how big the table of her team's core had become to make space for Gotham's core team, "do you think Alex might be interested in sharing her training with me?"
"You'll have to ask her," she replied, turning to Carter who was staring at the girl; he was shy around strangers. "But if you're looking for something further, I suggest you don't try."
"Oh! Um," she blushed and shook her head, "thanks but, um, yeah — I like Bruce." Then again, she also liked Dinah, maybe.
Cat just smiled and turned to the boy in question, shrugging seeing him being all pal with Clark; was it her, or was James giving the Gotham star a mild glare?
"So, Alex is taken?" It was subtle, yet not subtle.
"That's hard to explain," she considered her words before speaking. "Alex has a crush, but hasn't been able to admit it to the other person."
"Oh . . . ."
"It's no one you know."
"I thought it would be Maxwell Lord," she exclaimed, surprised, earning a laugh.
"Oh no, it was one of the reasons why she had been so eager to leave National City."
The night flew by and soon, they had to leave. Eliza was still unable to leave National City, but it was likely she would actually do so by the time they began college, so she was already searching for real state near campus. The woman had gone back home without even joining the festivities, but she promised to be back.
The end of the night found them walking, with a sleeping Carter on Kara's arms.
Cat took the chance to nudged the brunette their age. "When are you going to tell her?"
"Hmm?" Alex gave her a confused glance before returning her eyes up front. "Who?"
"Astra." She did the right thing to whisper, even if she knew it was likely the aliens were hearing them. She took a hand and draw a heart symbol, smiling softly at the sharp intake. "Relax, I won't say. But I'm sure you should."
"Why?" Alex croaked and she could tell the usual confident girl was having trouble with her crush on the older woman; she couldn't fault her.
"Okay, so maybe not, but I think you could be happy," she tugged the hand and they resumed their pace, "both of you. I'm just guessing though, but you're already," she traced the number eighteen on the palm, "so it shouldn't be that much of a big deal."
"I'm still in high school."
"We're graduating next summer," she teased, still tugging the girl further and unconsciously, lacing their fingers, "winter is here, and we have the last game of the season."
"We can make an all-star team, can't we?"
"Bruce better not think he's taking my spot."
Once they were home, Kara joined her in her room; Astra simply motioned to her ears but otherwise made no comments, giving them both, and Carter, a kiss goodnight. Cat would forever wonder if something happened that night between the two brunettes, but decided she was better off not knowing, that the stupid smile and grin on the girl's face might as well be from enjoying Astra's undivided attention more than anything.
"Cat?"
"Hmmm?"
"I love you," Kara whispered, making the other girl smile before falling completely asleep.
The words only made her happy; it was by far, the best day of her life.
