Hey Everyone!

I am starting to get back into the groove again and this little tease wouldn't leave me alone. I will state this right now... I am a Supercorp and Agentcorp shipper...equally. What would happen if you have the sisters in love with the same Corporate Executive? I guess we will find out. Your opinions and preferences are welcome because I have no idea who I want our ruby lipped beauty to end up with. Let me know, and we will see where we go.

Thank for being patient for me to come back.

PS I mad Kara a little frustrated with James, and Alex's opinion of him is less than stellar. Hope you are all ok with that.

She walked the city's bustling streets at some ungodly hour in the morning because she was confused, not wounded but disappointed, and therefore it hurts something deep in her guts. Like she failed at something. As she continued to walk the cold November weather began to seep into her bones. She huddled deeper into her heavy coat and cursed herself for forgetting gloves. At least she had a thin scarf. Her feet let her to a building and when she got there she simply smiled as she walked into the worn building and up the stairs to an apartment she felt she might find some semblance of relief from her chaotic world, her discombobulated emotions. She looked down at her watch and sighed, 3:27 am. She would be asleep or worse yet awake and then she would have to talk. Lena threw her shoulders back and leveled her chin with the floor and pulled out her key ring.

Kara gave her a key a long time ago and she never, ever found a need to use it. Until tonight that is. Lena slipped the key into the lock and let herself in to the apartment silently. It was dark as she turned around and locked the door. She walked stealthily across the apartment and took off her coat in the warm space. She looked into the bedroom and saw a lump on the bed. She was asleep. Her shoulders rest on the door jam and watched the figure in the dark. Should she join the woman in the bed or make herself comfortable on the couch? One last look at the figure in the bed and a sigh, she walked to the couch and pulled the blanket from the back of the couch and bundled up looking out the window.

Lost in her thoughts she didn't hear feet on the floor. She didn't hear clothes wrestle as the woman walked into the room. She didn't even see out of her periphery the woman until there was a depression on the couch as the woman plopped down on the couch.

"I didn't want to wake you," Lena smiled as she continued to look out the window then sighed as she let her eyes glisten slightly, "I supposed that was a foolish thought seeing as you probably heard me walking up the stairs in the building let alone walking around your apartment." Lena's head snapped to the woman on the couch as she heard a distinctly not Kara sound.

"Well that answers that question," stated a lower voice and it look Lena looking harder into the dark to see the older sister, smaller in stature, almost fairylike in her frame, but never the less some government baddass that can kick the shit out of some aliens if the situation calls for it. Lena continued to stare at the auburn-haired woman and then the other woman stretched out across the couch and pulled the blankets to her and shared in Lena's warmth. Lena smiled and mirrored the woman's position and sat with her feet facing the woman and their legs tangled under the blanket.

"She isn't here," Alex stated wiggling her toes playfully to Lena, but to her she was still trying to make sure all her limbs worked right. She took a beating a few nights ago and a numbness of sorts fell into Alex's toes. Sensations were coming back, but slowly. She gasped when she felt Lena's cold fingers on her feet.

"That tickles," Lena said as she held Alex's sock clad foot in one hand. Both Women smirked at the other. For Alex she always found being around Lena dangerous and not in the bodily harm sense of the word. She could feel herself attracted to the woman her sister had been longing for these few years.

"Kara is out," Alex said once more trying to begin conversation but noticed the corporate executive tense up and shift her legs. Alex, panicking, not wanting the woman to leave, pinned her legs to the couch with her own, "I just mean she is on watch tonight. I have known for a long time she told you so I know you know what I am talking about. That does not mean leave. If Kara gave you a key it must mean you are phenomenally close and she welcomes you anytime, so, stay," Alex spoke low and fast. Lena had a hard time keeping up with her but smiled when she felt her legs pinned to the couch. They both relaxed back.

"What brings you here at this time any ways?" Alex asked as she felt the woman relax. Then she heard the sigh. Alex found her face in the dark, lit by moonbeams. She was lucky she was on the shadowed part of the couch. Lena would not see the slight blush crawl up her neck and settle on her cheeks as she thought the woman gorgeous.

"I wanted to feel safe," Lena answered tightly.

"Best place in the world to feel safe is Kara's place," Alex scoffed.

"Well, why are you here?" Lena countered.

"Her apartment is closer to work and I had a short turn around," Alex shrugged. Lena sighed then felt Alex nudge her legs and then she softly smiled.

"It's about James," Lena said softly. Alex froze.

"Oh…" Alex said and pulled her feet from Lena, but Lena pulled her feet back.

"Please stay like this. You are surprisingly warm for such a small person," Lena grinned cheekily causing Alex to smile back.

"James, god love him, is a tit bag," Alex retorted with another scoff. Lena blinked taken a back. Then the words registered, and she let out a pull hearty laugh. Alex relaxed as the other woman laughed out loud until she was done.

"I have my reasons for thinking this, but what are yours?" Lena asked as her laughter eased into soft giggles.

"He couldn't deal with Kara leaving him then had to go all Guardian as if he had to prove something," Alex felt Lena tense up, "Did Kara ever tell you about that?" Alex watched as she saw Lena shake her head.

"I thought there might have been … something there, but it was never confirmed, but I never came out and asked her either," Lena said and noticed how these past months with James and her relationship shifted something in Kara's and her relationship. Alex tugged on Lena's toe getting her attention.

"She doesn't love him, remember she broke up with him, it probably wasn't important," Alex tried to offer the woman a semblance of support. Lena nodded, but it was slight, then Alex continued. "He also doesn't make you happy, and what person would not want to make you happy?" Alex finished and felt her face heat up. Lena slowly lifted her gaze to the dark shadowed face of Alex Danvers.

"Thank you," Lena whispered and then leaned her head back on the couch. Alex began wiggling and scrunching her toes again and Lena placed a hand on the foot once more with a chuckle thinking Alex was playing around.

"Sorry, I just don't have full feeling back in them and its becoming habit," Alex said as she felt Lena's fingers curl around her socked foot.

"Where does it hurt the most?" Lena asked pressing on parts of the appendage.

"It doesn't hurt at all. I am slowly un-numbing," Alex answered trying to take her foot from the woman's grasp. Lena left the toes alone and hummed.

"When did you get hurt?"

"A few nights ago?" Alex answered vaguely then wished she hadn't. She heard Lena cluck her tongue with the roof of her mouth and narrowed her eyes.

"The same night Kara had to be in the sunbed?" Lena probed.

Alex only sat there and leaned her head back. She didn't have to talk to the Luthor. She didn't have to spew forth her weaknesses. Besides, she was the one who was hurting.

"What about James has you walking all the way to Kara's apartment?" Alex asked shifting the conversation. Lena knew this tactic for what it was. She also knew that somethings could and could not be talked about, confidentiality and governments.

"As you have so gracefully said he is a tit bag," Lena replied, but looked to see Alex's eyes glimmer, but not her face shift in the shadows she sighed, "We fought, about…" Lena stopped. Alex was not the person she needed to talk to.

"Kara," Alex watched Lena and then narrowed her eyes, "Supergirl," Alex supplied and then watched Lena sigh and bite her lip and tilt her head back. Ah, there it was. Alex stood up leaving Lena on the couch and a small yelp at the action. Alex paced the room thinking. Lena watched the woman prowl in front of her.

"Damned idiot, shit," Alex murmured as she walked to and fro. Then the door opened, and the light flicked on. Both women turned and found Kara standing in the doorway looking at her sister looking angry in front of Lena and Lena looked resigned and … disappointed.

"Alex, I know she is frustrating, but she isn't and idiot," Kara said with a sunny smile trying to defuse the situation as she closed the door and then walked over to the couch and leaned down and hugged her best friend and kissed her temple. Alex watched the interaction and something in her clenched. She swallowed and sighed then walked back to the bed room and got dressed. If Kara was back it was time for her shift.

"What was that all about?" Kara asked Lena sitting down on Alex's vacated stop pulling Lena's feet into her hands warming them up even though they were in thick socks.

"She was referring to someone else, not me," Lena smiled softly looking back at the bedroom, "She is quite fierce, isn't she?"

"Oh sure, especially if she believes you are a part of her family," Kara looked at Lena and then smiled, "So if that was her reaction about another person then she must think highly of you," Kara looked into Lena's green eyes, "Wanna tell me about it?"

Lena sighed and then looked at Kara, her warm tan skin, her high cheek bones, and the scar over her eyebrow. She took in the woman in front of her and wondered why the woman would not simply …. Love her. Lena sighed and sat back as Kara massaged a foot and then she looked at the kryptonian with a glare. The damn woman was never fair.

"It was about James," Lena said staring Kara in her eyes watching her unfocus and then refocus for a split second. Lena winced at the harder than normal dig into her arch, and then saw the woman pull her hands away.

"He is a tit bag, Lena" Kara said looking straight into Lena's eyes. It was then that Lena for the second time that morning, or night found herself laughing herself to stitches in her side. Kara joined her and then to door opened and out came Alex in her tactical gear. The women on the couch were all smiles, and for a split-second Alex wished it was her there instead of Kara. Everyone bade the other good night as they all stood. Alex walked from the apartment as she heard Kara mention the bed being more comfortable than the couch and Lena chuckle.

What are friends for?

What are sisters supposed to do?
