It's Supposed to be a Date
By XavAcid
Chapter 3 : It's Friday!
By the time Friday afternoon came around Kara was pretty sure the world was about to end. There were suddenly uprise of accidents and even a robbery that required Supergirl's attention after several days of quiet. It was like all the criminals wanted to get their quota in before the weekend, which was ridiculous. This had Kara out of the office numerous times and Winn scrambled to cover up for her.
Then there was this coming Saturday, which they had yet to finalize their plan. Alex had called her friend up the night before to arrange the extra passes that they needed which he seemed to be more than happy to provide. She also offered to drive, which Kara knew she planned to anyway, but she didn't get the chance to bring that up with Ms. Grant yet.
And during their meeting on Thursday they talked about Carter's plan, and what he would like to see. He had a list. Apparently it worked out to be a full schedule, between what the boy wanted to see, which luckily a lot of them coincided with what Kara herself wanted to see.
Right now, she just hoped that there wouldn't be any disaster on Saturday that needed her, or the both of them at the same time. It was unlikely, though, but she worried anyway.
As five o'clock rolling around Kara knew she would have to talk to about their Saturday's plan. So, as she cleared all her work and shut everything down for the weekend she kept an eye on her boss, waiting for whatever phone call she was making to finish so she could go in and talk to her.
"Hey.. um.. Kara?"
"Yeah, Winn, what's up?"
"You, uh… going to the Aquarium this Saturday?"
Kara turned to him with a little frown on her face, her friend looked a little uncomfortable for whatever reason, and she didn't think she wanted to know. Ever since she told him about Alex, and their change in relationship he was both supportive and awkward about it. But he was trying, she knew, so she cut him some slack.
"Yup."
"So you're talking Carter with you?" He lowered his voice, as if he was afraid anyone would listening in on their conversation. The bullpens were pretty empty already, everyone was eager to start their weekend early after all. There was no need to whisper.
He heard about Carter since Wednesday, and he had been meaning to ask, but didn't get the chance, since the work had been rather busy, and he had to cover for his friend on her Supergirl's duty numerous times today. This was the first chance he got.
He knew where they were going, also that it was a date. He was the one who suggested it to Kara, after all. Then he heard that Kara was taking Carter with them, and he thought maybe he could tag along, so he could geek out with Carter and they could still have their date.
"And Ms. Grant." The blonde nodded.
"And Ms. Grant?!" Winn exclaimed before he could stop himself. "With you and Alex and Carter?"
"I know… I hope for no disaster tomorrow."
"What about Alex?" He whispered, "did Ms. Grant know that she's-" he made vague gesture that could be interpreted as anything. But Kara got it anyway.
"Yes, she knows that Alex is my girlfriend, and my foster sister."
"So, she crashes your date." He seemed relief at that, and Kara realized he was worried about her and about Alex in his own way. Now he just looked less on the side of worry, and moved just this side of amusement.
"Yeah."
"I wish you luck."
"Thanks, Winn." She gave him a one arm hug, one eye still on her boss noticing her putting down the phone. "I better go in there."
"Yeah, I'll see you Monday." He gave her a little wave and turned to his own desk to finish packing up his stuff.
"Ms. Grant?" She gave the glass door a little knock.
"Oh, there you are." Cat Grant looked up and came around her desk, while waving her assistant inside. "I suppose we should talk about tomorrow."
"Yes," Kara nodded as she headed for the bar to pour her boss glass of water, she considered adding an advil or two, but from the look of it, she probably didn't need it.
Cat sat back on her expensive white leather couch, it'd been a long day, and she felt every minute of it. Surprisingly she was looking forward to tomorrow. She realized that they should've finalized their plan earlier, but she hadn't plan on going with them. And until she invited herself the idea didn't even cross her mind.
While Sunny Danvers seemed nervous at the prospect, her girlfriend on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed by it all. She wanted to ask if it was her natural state to be so unflappable about everything, or if it was learned.
A small click of glass against the metal tray brought her out of her musing. She looked up at her young assistant, and thanked her with a nod.
"Sit."
Kara plopped down immediate, an image of a big golden retriever came to mind. It made her smile.
"About tomorrow." The younger blonde started. "Alex can pick you and Carter up at nine. She'd already arranged for passes with her friend."
Cat gave her a look.
"Unless of course, you wanna meet us at the aquarium?"
"That's fine," she gave her an airy wave. "We'll be waiting. I'm sure Carter would like more time with his favorite scientist." She took a sip of her water. "Speaking of scientist, why isn't Alexandra here to pick you up today?"
The Kryptonian thought for a moment that she'd imagined the mischievous glint in her boss eyes, but her vision was superior to that of human, and well, there was definitely a glint.
This was a new thing, she never thought Cat Grant could be - she dared say - playful.
"Alex is busy at the lab today."
Actually, she was pretty sure that Alex was beating some new recruits' butts into submission right now at the D.E.O. training room, where she would be joining her a little later. The older Danvers insisted on training Kara herself. So, they both made sure that Friday evening was their designated time. No matter how busy they both were, bar any emergency, they would be meeting up so that Kara could learn how to fight.
The Kryptonian knew that it was another way Alex was taking care of her, to made sure that she could fight, to protect herself. The first time she was in that room she got her behind kicked so thoroughly it was beyond mortifying. It also woke her up to a few very important fact.
That she needed more than just her super strength and speed to be Supergirl.
And thanks to Alex's training, she had survived more than a few run-ins with Fort Rozz prisoners.
"I see."
"She wants to finish up some of her works for the weekend."
Cat Grant watched a fond smile appeared on her assistant's face. She wondered how Sunny Danvers grew up to be this bright, this cheerful, and so damn nice. Anyone else would probably not be so happy to take a child along on their date, and one that did not relate to them at that.
"She also said you should dress casual, no heels. We'll be walking a lot."
And that Alexandra Danvers, who was probably just as nice, though not cheerful, no, Cat didn't think anyone could be as cheerful as her assistant, who took it all in with an eyeroll. She wondered if they perhaps fought about this when they got home. She hoped not.
But what she saw on Thursday was reassuring, so whatever fight, if they even had one, was probably over and done with.
"I'll keep that in mind when I dress tomorrow morning. Thank you."
Actually, she didn't even think about what she was going to wear. And how much walking they were going to be doing. Not that walking in heels all day was impossible, she had done it. It just wasn't comfortable to be doing so, especially with a crowd like it was going to be tomorrow.
Carter was so excited, he had babbled to her all evening, asking about what he should wear, if he should wear his Sunday best. She also spied him doing research about the new tank opening. She was pretty sure that he was also trying to impress the brunette. It was adorable.
Kara started to fidget when her boss said nothing else, there wasn't much else she needed to tell her, it wasn't like they were going to take a dive into the tank, after all. Although, that would be cool. She made a mental note to ask Alex later if they could.
Or maybe they could swim with the dolphins.
"Anything else I should know?" Cat asked after a few moments.
"Um… no, nothing else that I can think of." Kara popped up from her seat quickly. "Maybe a change of clothes for Carter, Alex said we could get wet at the dolphin show."
Cat made a face, she didn't think she would enjoy being soaked unless she was swimming or in a bath.
"So, we'll see you tomorrow morning." Kara started to back away toward the door. "Have a good evening ."
"Oh, Keira." Cat stopped her. "Thank you."
A smile she received was bright, like the sun.
"You're welcome, Ms. Grant."
And she got up to leave.
"And I hope Alexandra doesn't drive tiny little Prius!" Cat Grant called out as an afterthought.
"I was so tempted to tell her you drive an N-One." Supergirl huffed.
Alex laughed as she raised her hands up in guarded position. Kara had seen the picture of the tiny little car and fell in love with it, she had wanted to get one, except she had no need for a car, not really, and Alex needed something bigger with her long drive out to the desert everyday.
"You know, I could borrow one of those, I'm pretty sure the one parking on the far side of the lot was Bering's." Alex threw a left hook. "Though I think hers is N-Box Slash, a little bigger."
"Really? The blue one?" Kara ducked down out of the way and threw her own punch at the brunette. With Kryptonite emitter at eighteen percent, she was down to almost human level, even then, she hardly ever beaten Alex. But she was getting better.
"Yup." Alex caught her wrist and used her own momentum to throw her.
Kara caught herself on time and tucked her chin down and roll with it, just like Alex taught her to do. She came to her feet quickly and swept out with her foot, trying to take down the agent, except Alex was ready for it.
"Do you think we could borrow it for a little spin?" Kara straightened up and lifted her hands up, mirroring Alex's position, and not for the first time that she wished she thought it through about her hair and the cap before she became Supergirl. Once again she had to brush her hair out of her face.
"Maybe." Alex grinned and swept out with her foot, her grin got bigger when her Kryptonian was caught off guard and fell right on her back. "I think she'd let you drive that around the lot at least."
She offered a hand up to the young blonde. Signifying that their session was over, and stepped down from the platform to turn off the emitter.
"Oh, cool." Kara brushed herself down and straightened her cape out. "Can we ask her now?"
The agent made an affirmative sound.
The Kryptonian smiled happily as she watched her favorite human wiped her face with a towel, Alex was in her standard training gear, black, non-mark compression pants, sneakers, but she discarded her half zip pullover when Kara arrived. So she was down to her sports bra.
Kara knew that Alex thought nothing of it, but she hoped the older Danvers didn't train the new recruits like this. She wouldn't want anyone to see more of Alex, especially the way drops of sweat sliding down her abs-
Alex noticed the blonde was staring and not saying anything.
"Kara?"
That snapped her out of wherever her mind went, and from the way a blush appeared on her cheeks, which was definitely not from their workout, emitter was off, after all. "Get your mind out of the gutter, you." Alex tossed her towel at Supergirl as she hopped down from the platform, approaching her as if in trance.
"I hope you're not training those new recruits with your shirt off." And she wrapped both arms around her most favorite human.
"And why not?" Alex's tone was playful, it was a tone she knew that the agent would never used outside where anyone could hear. To everyone else at the D.E.O Alex was the no nonsense, senior agent, and second in command, and she tried to be as professional, especially in front of all the other agent, with the exception of the selected few.
"I don't want anyone to get any ideas." Kara nuzzled the spot below her ear. "Most of them are in love with Agent Danvers already."
"What?" Alex exclaimed with a huff of laughter. "That's so not true."
"It is!" Kara's voice took a higher pitch. "And if they know you're approachable, I'd have to beat them off with a stick!"
Alex laughed hard, with her arms thrown around Kara's broad shoulders she pulled her face in, "silly alien." Then she gave her a peck on her red lips.
They broke apart when the door to the room swished open, in stepped Agent Vasquez and another agent Kara had never seen before.
"Agent Danvers," Susan Vasquez greeted with a smile. "Supergirl."
"Agent Vasquez," Supergirl smiled brightly, but made no move to step away from Alex. "And I don't think we've ever met." She turned her sunny smile toward the new agent. Who was looking at them wide-eyed, staring just a touch too long on his senior Agent in her sports bra, Kara noticed.
"Agent Colton, ma'am." He offered her a hand, which Supergirl took and shook just a tiny bit too vigorously.
Alex looked on with amusement, but stepped in when she noticed Agent Colton turning a little pale.
"You need us for something Vasquez?"
Susan Vasquez was one of the few people who knew about them and rooted for them from the moment she recognized what was between their commander and their resident hero. Most of the D.E.O did not know who Kara was, only Supergirl. And Agent Danvers was her point of contact.
"Just some paperwork for you to look over before you leave, Agent Danvers." Vasquez smiled
Supergirl tilted her head a little, like a curious puppy. She hoped it was nothing serious, she wanted to go home with Alex today.
"I'll take a look after I get clean up. In the meantime," she turned to their resident Kryptonian. "Vasquez can take you to Agent Bering and ask if you could take her little N Slash for a spin."
That had Kara lit up like a thousand suns. "Really?"
Alex smiled back at her.
Colton who was trying to discreetly massaging his hand, the one that got shook by their Superhero, perked up at the bright smile. He was afraid for a moment that she would crush his hand, and was so glad that his hand was fine. And he got to see Agent Danvers' smile, he had never seen her smiled like that before.
The little Kei-car of Agent Bering was the buzz around lower rank agent, especially the females. It certainly was tiny, most of them had never seen something that small amongst all the SUVs and trucks in the lot.
"Yes, I think she's in the break room on the second level right now." Vasquez gave the Kryptonian a little smile and motioned with her head. "Agent Colton," she turned to address the new recruit. "You should get a move on it."
"Yes, wouldn't wanna be late." He quickly flashed them, and especially Agent Danvers a charming grin and quickly left the room.
Kara normal sunny countenance darken as she watched him leave.
"Is something wrong?" Agent Vasquez asked the unusually quiet Superhero.
"Agent Colton is new here right?"
"Yes, he came with a new batch of recruits last month." Susan frowned at the question. Bolton's record was impressive, that was why the D.E.O. recruited him.
"Did Alex train him? His group, I mean."
A flash of understanding came over her, Vasquez felt like smacking herself for being a little slow on the uptake. She didn't think anything of it when Colton asked where she was going and once she told him where he started making conversation and walked with her. He seemed taken with Agent Danvers, but everyone knew that Alex Danvers was off limit. Not only she was their Second in Command, she was rather unapproachable, with the exception of Supergirl herself, Director Henshaw and only a handful of senior agents, it was also an unspoken fact that Henshaw's took her under his wing, and saw her like a daughter. But then the guy was new, he wouldn't know that. But he'd have to learn, and quick.
"No, she didn't."
The Kryptonian nodded thoughtfully.
"Don't worry, I'll let him know."
Supergirl looked startled for a moment before started to sputter. "Wha- no, what do you mean?"
Susan Vasquez smiled knowingly at her. In so many ways Supergirl was so easy to read, she was such a breath of fresh air around the cave, the young blonde could hardly keep anything out of her face. There was so much childlike aura about her.
The opposite of Agent Danvers who kept everything so guarded, one could hardly get a read on her. The only time she showed anything at all was when it concerned Supergirl. Like now, it was easy to see that she didn't appreciate the attention the new Agent Colton paid to Agent Danvers. Vasquez was going to take it upon herself to warn him off, even though it would be fun to see him made a fool of himself, like a lot of other agents around here before him.
They arrived at the break room just as someone with curly hair nearly walked into them.
"Oh hey! Agent Bering!"
"Agent Vasquez! Supergirl!" Agent Myka Bering exclaimed with a bright smile.
"Agent Bering, are you going home now?" Supergirl asked a hopeful look on her face.
"Um yes?"
Then Supergirl launched into her question, asking if the car that she saw in the lot was hers, how cute it was and would she mind terribly if she borrow it for a few minutes. Vasquez thought it was comical how enthusiastic the hero was, and how her fellow agent's eyes grew bigger by the minutes.
Until the young Kryptonian was done that the agent finally stammered out a yes and fished out a keyring and passing it to her.
"Thank you!"
The two watched their resident hero fluttered in the air a little, her happiness spreaded all around them, apparently everyone in the nearby room could feel it too, since several heads stuck out of the doorway to watch.
They were left running after her as she zoomed out, presumably to the parking lot, where the car was.
"Alex!" Kara called into her comm.
'Yes, what is it? Did you find Agent Bering?'
"Yeah, the car is so cute!" Her giggly little alien's voice was high-pitch with laughter, "where are you? You have to try it, it is so much fun!"
And the agent could practically hear a million exclamation points in that statement.
'I'm on my way out, where is Bering?'
"Watching on the side, chatting with Agent Vasquez."
Myka Bering was a part of Delta Squad, she usually wasn't in contact with Supergirl, nor was she really interact with Agent Danvers on regular basis, so it was surprising that Supergirl knew who she was, until Agent Vasquez told her that it was Agent Danvers who remembered her car.
She knew her car would stand out, especially here where almost everyone drive SUV or truck, but she liked her car, it was enough for her by herself, and it was very fuel efficient. She couldn't say that about all the vehicles in the lot right now.
And apparently Supergirl thought it was the coolest thing.
"Is she always this excitable?"
"Yeah, like a golden retriever." A new voice came from behind, two dark head, one short hair, one long curly hair, snapped in the direction the voice came from to find their commander came toward them. She was already in her civilian clothes, with her gear bag slung over one shoulder.
"Agent Danvers."
"Bering," Alex smiled, her professional one. "Cute car."
"Thank you," Myka scratched the back of her neck, she wasn't sure if it was a compliment, or a tease. "She seems to like it."
"Yeah, she does, she wanted to get one." Came the dry response.
Myka looked at her with wide-eye. "Supergirl wants a car? Why would she want one?"
"Because she thinks it's cute." Danvers shrugged as she looked on to where their resident Kryptonian took a turn and came toward them, she waved a little when the tiny car came to a stop.
"Alex!" Supergirl popped out of the car and practically skipped toward them.
Myka turned looked at Vasquez who just smiled back, it always surprised other agents to see a more relax side of their second in command. Especially those that didn't share the shift with her. Still her interaction with Supergirl showed them a softer side to her that no one thought to ever exist.
"Hey, how was it?"
"It is so much fun, Alex!" Supergirl was all laughing and giggling. "We should get one!"
"Because we need another car?" Alex teased.
"Come on, look!" She took the older Danvers by the hand and pulled her toward the blue Kei car. "Look!"
Alex obligated, she took a look inside, and she had to admit that it was indeed pretty cute. The interior was beige, with blue stripes went from the console of the passenger side across the seat all the way to the back.
"Oh you can actually put the seats all the way down flat." Myka stepped up to explain, "and you can do this." She open the back and moved the two back seats all the way back to make more room for the back seats. "You lose a bit of the trunk space but you get more room, if you need it."
"This is so cool!" Kara turned to look at Alex, gave her a puppy dog eye.
The agent sighed deeply, knowing what came next.
The other two looked on in amusement. Especially Vasquez, she was closer to them and had seen what that look could do to her normally so in control commander. And it was rather clear that their senior agent did not want to do it.
"Agent Bering…" Alex turned to look at the new agent. "Would it be possible for us to perhaps trade car for the weekend, or just Saturday."
And from over her shoulder Supergirl was making a wide pleading eye at her. "Please?" She added.
For a minute there, Bering was gaping, she came to think later that she probably looked like a goldfish. It just so happened that she was about to ask to borrow someone's truck, since she recently moved and needed to get a few new pieces of furniture, so this pretty much worked out perfectly. She loved her little car, but a trip to Home Depot with it was just a pain.
So, that was how the Alex and Kara got the little car for their Saturday trip.
"Cat Grant is going to have a conniption." Alex said after they made the trade, and drove away.
Kara laughed long and loud at that as she reached for the older Danvers' hand, another thing she loved, there was nothing separating them unless she pull down the arm rest.
"It is not a Prius." The Kryptonian grinned.
"Nope, it is certainly not a Prius."
"What did your friend say about the extra passes?" Kara asked as soon as they entered her apartment, she headed right for the kitchen to put the takeout bags down. She was starving. Hopefully she could sneak a piece of potsticker before Alex caught on.
Actually, the passes were offered to her, when she was only calling up her friend to ask if they could perhaps see behind the scene stuff. And it was only because Kara would've wanted to see. Personally, Alex was not one to try to meet up with old friend. She didn't have all that many that she kept in touch with. Her work being the major reason why she never wanted to see any of them.
They always wanted to ask what she was doing, and if she was seeing anyone, if she was with kids. She couldn't very well tell them what she was actually doing. She got her cover story, of course, but she didn't like telling them.
"He said he'll have them waiting." The brunette replied as she sat down to pull her boots off. "And don't you dare sneak a potsticker, Kara."
"Aleeex." Kara whined. "I said I was sorry."
"Yeah, I'm sure you are, but still no potsticker for you." She held up a finger and waggled it. "No, do not pout." She settled back against the back of the couch as her pouty Kryptonian came toward her. "Nope, not happening."
And Kara came closer, bottom lip jutting out in the biggest pout she could muster. As she came closer Alex had flattened herself against the cushion, looking away so she wouldn't see it. With three bounding leap, Kara landed right next to her most beloved human.
Alex was still trying not to look at her, so she flopped down, head rested on the brunette lap.
"Please, can I have some potsticker, please? Please, please please, pretty please."
Hazel eyes rolled, as she gave exasperated sigh, Alex reluctantly looked down at the wide, watery blue eyes. "Urgg.. fine." She grumbled.
"Yay!" Kara perked right up, she flipped over, as only someone with the power of flight could, into kneeling position, pouting lips turned to smile in an instant.
"But only two!"
"Thank you!"
The wide, happy smile was irresistible, and Alex just couldn't help her own smile in response. She grabbed that smiling face in both hands and pulled Kara into a kiss.
"I love you," Kara murmured into the kiss. "So, so much." She used her bigger mass to press Alex down to the couch. Dinner could wait.
Kara trailed kisses down the side of Alex's jaw, to her neck, she took a little time to appreciate that little spot where her shoulder met her neck,nibbling lightly enjoying the taste of clean skin, and grinning at the shudder she felt running through Alex's body.
"Kara," Alex breathed out softly.
"Alex."
Kara slipped a hand underneath the thin tank tap, short nails scratching lightly across those tight abs she had admired earlier, Alex was so responsive. A hand came up to hold the back of her head, fingers tangled into her long hair. She could hear the thrumming of blood coursing through Alex.
They both shifted together, so they could be closer…
A hand slipped, the next moment Kara found herself blinking up at quivering abs in front of her face, this time the quivering had nothing to do with what they were doing before hand, and everything to do with Alex trying to hold in the laughter.
"This is so not the best place to be doing this."
Kara pouted up at her, and Alex shifted herself down, so that they were looking at each other in the eye. "I'm sorry baby." She held herself up with both arms, looking down at the pouting Kryptonian. Kara wanted to say something, but her belly had another idea, the idea that had nothing to do with her ardor.
Alex dropped herself down, and laughed some more at the sound of stomach growling.
"You're so mean."
"Let's go feed the beast, shall we?" She just couldn't help it, Alex nuzzled her a little before then she pushed herself up. Her little alien was still pouting.
"Can I get three potstickers?"
Alex rolled her eyes, but tucked the pouty alien with her toward the kitchen where their food awaited. "We'll see."
A few minutes later and they settled in with their food in front of the television. Potstickers remained untouched for the moment.
"Can you heat this up a little?" Alex held out her bowl of egg drop soup. Kara, out of her work clothes and back in her pj bottom and loose sweat-shirt that once belonged to Alex's -she'd taken it a while back- and glasses.
"Sure." Pulling her glasses down, and Kara used her heat vision to heat up the soup.
"So…" Kara watched the older girl pick up some noodle with her chopsticks, normally she would've gone in and sneak the first bite off of the chopsticks, but she had another goal in mind right now.
Alex, who had been waiting for her little alien to take the first bite off of her chopsticks looked up, a little surprised that Kara didn't try to sneak food off of her. But then the blonde eyes were on the potstickers container in the middle of the table so she knew.
"Nope, you're still only getting two."
"Aleeeeeeex."
Later, after dinner had been consumed, potstickers fought over, dishes cleaned.
They tumbled into bed in a heap of human and alien tangled together. They picked up right from before they found themselves on the floor in front of the couch.
Kara breathed deeply enjoying the afterglow and hot skin pressed against her own, she pulled the comforter over the both of them, knowing that Alex was going to get cold soon, now that the sweat was starting to dry.
"Love you." She said softly, turning her head to kiss the still swollen red lips.
This was another aspect of their intimate relationship that Kara only ever fantasized about in the dark. Never thought she would ever be able to touch her beloved human in this way. To feel her soft, soft skin heat up, to see her eyes glazed over with pleasure and knew that Kara was the one who gave her that. Her breathy cries music to her ear.
And Kara listened to everything, every hitch of her breath, every beat of her heart picking up speed. She thought nothing could be better than this.
But then she got to feel Alex's touch all over, reaching deep inside her, being brought to climax over and over, felt herself floating and falling into awaiting arms of the only person in the world who had always been with her, protecting her.
"I love you, too." Alex kissed her long and deep before snuggling down.
"Goodnight Alex."
It was going to be a good day tomorrow, Kara was sure of it.
"Goodnight Kara."
A/N
I have nothing against Prius, but I really like Honda N-Box Slash (look it up, it's kinda cute) and I think Kara's probably gonna think it's cute. Kei car is a class of small car in Japan. Alex probably drives monster of an SUV (in my head, she does) with full arsenal in the back.
Yup, that was Myka.
Up next is Saturday, at first it's going to just be in this chapter, but yeah, Alex won't let me. So, another chapter for Saturday. Thank you for reading.
