Oh boy, I've got some serious emotional roller-coaster for you :) I tried to let it be just Supercorp and Sanvers, but I couldn't help myself, I needed to mix it with a bit of Kalex (don't like it, don't read it, I mean it, please don't complain about it, there are people who ship em and people who don't, please respect that).
Have fun!.
Chapter 1 - A Start
"Obviously there's something wrong with me, he's a great guy, they're all great guys, why am I shoving away all the great guys?" Kara said, getting herself another glass of red wine. By now, she'd almost finished the bottle on her own.
"I thought alcohol has no effect on you?" Maggie asked, unable to keep her mouth shut on this and maybe she also wanted to change the mood a bit.
"It doesn't. It's hopeless just like my love live."
"Who are you and what did you do to my sister?" Alex asked, finally putting the bottle away. "That's not you Kara, losing hope like that. You just haven't found the right guy yet, there's nothing wrong with being picky."
"That's what I've told you all along Alex, remember? And now look at you, you're happy! You're gay, you couldn't find the right guy because there is no guy for you..."
That was the moment when Maggie bit her cheek to suppress the smile that had been wanting to grow for the last couple of minutes. Finally, they were getting somewhere.
"Maybe I'm gay too..." Kara whispered. She seemed light years away, thinking about everything in a different way for the first time. "How did you know?"
"I uh... uhm..." Alex stumbled over her train of thoughts. Kara Zor-El being gay was the oddest image she ever created. Her whole life, at least, all of the time she knew the blonde, she'd always been sure of one thing and that was Kara being super straight. Except for the clothes, of course, Kara's boyish way of dressing... she'd never thought about that, but now, it kinda made sense.
"You'll know it, when you're ready to know it Kara." was all Maggie said, leaving the blonde in complete confusion. "Also, you're going through a fresh break up, no wonder you're in doubt. You may or not be gay, but this shouldn't be of any focus now. What is important is that you surround yourself with people that care about you, people you trust. Stay focused on what you do and what you have right now, never on what you could have. And that's free advice from someone who has been through a lot of shit."
Maggie's words hung in the air, leaving all of them in thoughts. Kara whispered a quick thank you, finally shoving her wine away before standing up.
"I think I should leave."
"Are you sure? You can stay, if you like." Alex answered, standing up as well.
"Yes... I should leave you two to... you know... be as adorable as you are." she chuckled.
Suddenly her phone rang and a quick look at the display made her heart skip a beat. In a good way.
"Mon-El?" Alex asked with a worried face.
"No, it's...uh... it's Lena."
Kara's eyes were still focused on her display so she didn't see Alex and Maggie exchanging a knowing look. Kara had been talking about Lena a lot lately, so much, Alex was starting to get really jealous for some reason.
"Mind if I take the balcony?"
"Since when do you ask?" Alex replied, wrapping her arms around her sister.
"Thanks for the evening and the advice... you were right Maggie, I should focus on what I have and I have the most amazing friends."
A second later she was out of the window, leaving the lovers in silence.
"So... she went to see Lena..." Maggie said with a smile, leaning over the kitchen counter to have a better look at her girlfriend.
"Yeah, but she came here first. That means Titanic tonight." Alex giggled, giving Maggie the kiss she'd been dying to get ever since they entered the flat. With Kara being around, they agreed on not acting out the greatness of their love.
"Oh I wasn't thinking about the bet, actually, I'm pretty relieved she's finally getting it."
"Getting what?"
"That she's head over heels for Lena Luthor. It's about time."
"Wait, no, Kara isn't gay, I know her, I mean of all people, I would know. She's maybe dressing like... sometimes... but no, she's not gay and certainly not crazy for Lena Luthor."
"Right... I bet she is and if I'm right, I get tiramisu, everyday for a week."
"God, that's … gross... you really are... okay if I win and Kara's not with her by the end of the week, means Sunday, you'll have to watch all Star Wars movies in a row with me."
"Deal" Maggie answered, grinning to herself at the win-win-situation she just got herself in. She loved Star Wars and she surely loved Alex Danvers.
Lena Luthor did what she always did after a hard day of work: Sitting at her table and drowning in the massive amount of work ahead of her. She wanted one night off, one single night a year, her night, and she wanted to spend it with the one person she ever felt at ease with.
Kara and her had been sending each other massages on a regular basis ever since the last incident with her mother. She'd been hurt and Kara just had a way of making it better, something she could not really put her finger on, but she loved every second of it.
A quick look at her cell phone later, she felt miserable, for the blonde hadn't answered yet. She'd asked her to spend the evening together, a night out and now she was starting to feel nervous and stupid for asking in the first place. It had been half an hour by now and she never took that long to answer.
A hesitating knock on her door left her shocked for a moment, but it was probably her secretary that intended to go home. After all, it was already late and most of her employees had been gone.
"Come in." she yelled. She was unable to hide her smile when a familiar blonde head peeked into her office.
"Hey." Kara said, mimicking her smile and it grew just a bit shinier when she saw Lena standing up, wearing one of her usual working outfits, but Kara thought it was stylish and fitting in every possible way.
"Kara, always a pleasure to see you. I'm glad you decided to meet me tonight. Would be awfully boring without you."
"Yeah, I could not let that happen, can I? Leave you to a boring night, I mean. We're young, we should go out, have a good time and I mean I couldn't think of anyone else to spend the night with. In a good way, I mean you... I couldn't think of better company." she rambled, crinkling her forehead again, a nervous habit.
Lena was smirking while she grabbed her jacket and turned of the lights, leaving them in dim light. Kara saw her coming closer, thinking Lena was about to give her a hug, so she didn't move away. Instead she stood before her, looking confused, but also amused by the blonde.
"So, what're we waiting for?" Lena smiled and Kara let out a breathy, nervous laugh before stepping back into the hall.
"Is there anything in particular you'd like to do?"
"I don't know about you, but I could use a drink." Lena said, taking Kara's hand to drag her into the elevator.
"Hey, earth to Danvers, I'm trying to seduce you here." Maggie said, almost pouting a bit. She'd stripped down to her underwear before straddling the agent, who'd been sitting on the couch for the past thirty minutes, lost in thoughts about her sister. Kara never mentioned the possibility of her being gay and something about the fact she'd done tonight bothered her.
"I'm sorry, Maggie, I was in thoughts..."
"Yeah, I could tell... is this about Kara and Lena?"
"No, duh. Come here, you look breathtakingly beautiful. Is this new?" she rose her hand to touch the soft fabric off Maggie's bra.
"I bought it yesterday, stop changing the subject."
"To be fair it is quite hard to think of anything other than touching and loving you if you're dressed like this." She whispered, kissing the skin of her collarbone while wrapping her arms around Maggie's fragile form. The detective decided to save the conversation for later, she could think of better things to do.
Alex loved kissing her girlfriend, she loved the soft moans that left Maggie's mouth when she rid her off her bra, but her mind couldn't stop thinking "what if". What if her sister really was gay, would that change anything? Would it change them? Would it suddenly matter that they weren't real sisters and just as she asked that to herself she knew. She knew it would change the way she felt and acted around the blonde, because deep down Alex had always known that some things she felt around her weren't quite right.
"I'm sorry." she whispered, letting go of Maggie's nipple. She couldn't do that, she couldn't think like that while being with Maggie. She couldn't think like that at all. "I can't do this now."
Maggie's hands found her cheeks, slowly bringing her face to look at her. Alex could see disappointment in her eyes, but more than anything it was the worried look that made her heart ache.
"I'm sorry Maggie, this has nothing to do with you. I'm just not..."
"It's ok. Just tell me if there is someone else, cause I couldn't stand being lied to again."
"I would never cheat on you Maggie, god, I would never want to loose you. Please don't be worried, I'm just not in the mood." she said, slowly pulling her girlfriend close to kiss her on the lips.
"Okay..." Maggie whispered against her lips, shivering under the cold air of the room. "It's titanic then."
