Author's note: Hey guys, this is chapter 6! Thank you all so much for the reviews, they really do mean a lot.
I'm sorry this is a bit shorter than usual, tomorrow's should be a little longer. I hope you all keep enjoying the story ;)
It was two days later and Alex was rushing around Kara's apartment trying to decide what to wear. She had ransacked both her own and her sister's wardrobe and clothing was strewn across Kara's apartment, she was currently applying makeup whilst still stressing about clothing choices.
"Calm down, she doesn't pick you up for another 20 minutes." Kara tried to reassure her sister.
"But I still don't know what to wear?!" Alex panicked.
Kara stood up from where she had been sitting cross-legged on her bed and wandered over to her wardrobe.
"Here, try this." After a quick rummage she pulled out a short black silk dress with a plunging neckline. "She won't be able to resist you in it!"
"Hey! That's mine!" Alex told her sister off indignantly.
"Yea… well I borrowed it a little while ago, just haven't had the chance to return it yet that's all… It's not like you were going on a lot of dates before and needed it…" Kara thrust the dress out at her glaring sister who held it up in front of herself in the mirror before humming in approval.
"Thanks" Alex quickly stripped to her black lacy underwear and stepped into the dress, she pulled it up and Kara moved to help with the zip at the back. Due to the neckline, it wasn't possible to wear a bra, and Alex felt a small thrill at going on the date partially commando, relishing the feel of the silk against her bare skin.
"How is your back feeling?" Kara asked as she pulled the zip up to the top. She studied the fresh scars on her sister's back, the skin wasn't raw anymore but it still looked battered.
"Still sore when I stretch certain ways but really I'm fine. I should really be back at the DEO where I'm needed already…" Alex reassured Kara as she stretched from side to side.
"Well J'onn said you can come back to the DEO as soon as you're signed off by the doctor as fit for work." Kara replied as she turned Alex around. "Should I wait up tonight?" Kara added, her tongue sticking out as she teased her sister.
"I don't know…" Alex replied, blushing slightly.
"Alex Danvers!" Kara replied, a mock shocked look on her face.
"Shut up." Was Alex's curt reply as she added the final touches to her hair and added a simple but elegant necklace to the ensemble. She grabbed some heels from Kara's collection and sat on the bed to strap them on. As she worked on the second one, there was a knock at the door. She looked up, both nervous and excited.
"Kara! She's here! Get the door!"
Kara wandered out of the bedroom and over to the front door, having already checked with her x-ray vision that it was indeed Maggie. She opened it and was confronted by a strangely shy Detective Sawyer clutching a bunch of red roses.
"Hey Kara… Is Alex ready?"
"Nearly, why don't you come in and wait?" Kara stepped back, allowing Maggie entry.
"Thanks." Maggie walked in and awkwardly leant against a counter in the kitchen. She looked up warily to find Kara staring at her. She opened her mouth to speak but before she could, Kara stepped right up to the detective and stared down into her dark brown eyes.
"You broke Alex's heart… She may have started to forgive you, but I haven't… If you so much as think about hurting a single hair on her head… I will crush you…" She whispered the threat with such force and power that all Maggie could do was gulp and nod (Alex's apparently sweet sister had a darker side!) Kara moved back into her previous position as her super hearing picked up Alex's deep readying breaths in the bedroom; an unconscious signal that she was preparing herself before leaving the room, coupled with the sound of her picking up her bag, phone and keys.
"Sooo… Done any more climbing lately?" Maggie asked Kara with a small smile in an effort to relieve the tension.
"What!? Oh no that's just… That's just on Tuesdays! Aleeeex! You're date's here!" Kara spun around and yelled, praying that her sister would appear and put an end to the awkward questioning.
"I'm coming!" Maggie heard Alex call through from the bedroom and looked up to see the woman she had grown to love (although she wouldn't dare admit that to herself yet, let alone anyone else) walk out of the bedroom.
"You look absolutely stunning!" she commented, breathless as she took in the entirety of Alex, the plunging neckline of the dress drawing her eyes down to the agent's full breasts.
"Ahem…" Alex coughed and Maggie's eyes sprang back up to Alex's face, her cheeks tinged faintly pink.
"You don't look so bad yourself Sawyer…" Alex replied. She unconsciously bit her bottom lip as she looked the detective up and down. Maggie was wearing a pair of tight, dark blue skinny jeans with black boots peeking out from underneath the cuffs. On top she wore a black sparkling shirt that hugged her in all the right places, paired with an open black leather jacket. Maggie smirked as she noticed the other woman checking her out.
"These are for you." She presented the flowers to Alex with a flourish.
"Oh wow! They're so beautiful…"
"Just like you!" Maggie cracked out the cheesy line with a bright grin as Alex popped them into a nearby vase with some water.
"O…K… you two crazy kids have fun!" Kara announced, as she ushered her sister and the detective out the door, afraid that if she didn't do something they would just continue to flirt shamelessly in her kitchen. She shut the door with a smile, glad that at last her sister had found a little happiness.
"So where are we going?" Alex asked excitedly as they left the elevator and walked out of the building, Maggie had been quite secretive in her texts whilst organising the date, not telling Alex any more than the time and date.
"It's a surprise…" Maggie turned and winked at her before quickly slipping her hand into Alex's and squeezing gently. Alex looked down to their entwined hands and just smiled, quite happy to let Maggie lead the way.
They walked hand in hand outside Kara's building and into a waiting taxi that had pulled up to the curb. Maggie held the door for Alex before running around to the other side and hopping in.
"You ready to go?" The cabbie asked
"Yep" Maggie replied, popping the 'p' as she said it. She turned and smiled at Alex "You really do look beautiful..."
"Thanks" She blushed "So do you..." She reached up and slowly tucked a strand of hair behind Maggie's ear. Maggie turned her head, kissed the open palm and smiled. She reached up to clasp Alex's hand with her own and held it tightly.
They spent the next 10 minutes in the car driving to their mystery destination, talking about small things like how Alex's back was healing well, how Maggie had a few rare days off from the precinct, and Alex doing her DEO best to try and pry more information from Maggie about their date.
"Come on, at least give me a clue!" Alex finally begged Maggie, eager to know where they were going.
"OK OK!" Maggie gave in a little; she looked pointedly at Alex's feet and smiled "Please tell me those are dancing shoes?"
