Capítulo 98: Chapter 98
Alex walks up behind her fiancée and wraps her arms around her waist as Maggie puts on a little bit of makeup. She rests her chin on Maggie's shoulder and watches her in the mirror.
"See something you like, Danvers?" Maggie teases.
"Mm hmm," Alex hums. "I have a very beautiful fiancée. What's not to like?"
"You're sweet, babe."
They stay like that as Maggie finishes up. There's a knock at the door and Alex reluctantly untangles herself from her fiancée and opens the door.
Lena, Kara, Winn, and Lyra are all standing outside the door.
"Are you ready?" Lyra asks bluntly.
Alex turns her head back towards Maggie. "Sawyer? You done?"
"Yeah Danvers, don't get your panties in a twist."
Alex turns back towards the others, shaking her head fondly. She bursts into laughter when she sees Kara's disgusted expression.
"What's so funny, babe?" Maggie's voice sounds like she's getting closer.
Alex points to Kara and Maggie laughs too, taking Alex's hand in hers when she reaches her.
"Let's go, darling." Lena encourages, placing a hand at Kara's back.
They leave the Danvers Castle and make their way to the alien bar. It's late by now, the moon already rising in the sky. But this is National City, so there's still a bunch of people out and about. They're let in the alien bar, the guard not even bothering to ask them for the pass code.
They find a booth near a pool table and sit down while Kara goes up to get their drinks. They know she's the best option out of all of them, no matter who is working the bar. No one can resist Kara's charm, even if they don't know she's the Princess.
She comes back with their drinks, carrying them on a tray. She takes the tray back to the bar and thanks the bartender, who looks utterly flustered.
She reclaims her spot by Lena, cuddling up to her girlfriend's side.
"So you two have everything done for Monday?" Winn asks in an attempt to start a conversation.
"Up!" Alex puts her hand in front of Winn's face and he gives her a confused look. He opens his mouth to speak but she cuts him off. "Up bup bup! Nope, we're not talking about them leaving. This is a happy night, not sobbing because we're going to miss them night, okay?"
Winn's lower lip wobbles. "But I am going to miss them."
"I know." Alex puts her hand on his shoulder and squeezes lightly. "We can all have a big crying party about it tomorrow night."
"Are you going to cry too?" Winn asks her.
"Pfft," Alex scoffs. She leans back in her chair. "No."
Maggie leans forward and stage whispers. "If she does, it's allergies."
Alex elbows her fiancée, hard enough to make her go "oof" but not hard enough to do anything other than surprise her with some slight pain.
Lena and Kara chuckle as Maggie retaliates by tickling Alex's side. Alex giggles and bats her hand away.
"Is anyone up for pool?" Lena asks. "Kara and I against the newly engaged couple."
"What about three against three?" Lyra asks. "Winn and I could split up and-"
"No!" The Danvers sisters and their partners say at the same time. Lyra looks started by their outburst.
"Sorry, it's just Winn nearly kills somebody every time he's near a pool stick," Lena explains.
Lyra looks at Winn, who smiles at her awkwardly. "Yeah. Um. I can do the math, the physics, but my hand-eye coordination in pool is severely lacking."
"You nearly hit Alex in the eye with the pool stick. You've launched the cue ball directly at Lena," Maggie reminds him. "You're dangerous, Winn."
"But not in the badass way you guys are dangerous," Winn sighs.
"Your smarts are plenty dangerous and badass." Lyra tells him, her fingers playing with his hair.
"Thanks." He grins at her. "And let's play pool!" At the alarmed looks he receives, he amends his statement. "I mean you guys play, Lyra and I can watch."
They nod and make their way over to the pool table, which is luckily empty. Most here are respectful enough not to take a pool table if someone has a table right by it. Alex and Maggie break after an intense best-two-out-of-three game if Rock Paper Scissors ("Danvers I know we're both lesbians, but is it necessary to keep doing scissors?" "I won, didn't I?").
The game quickly gets intense, because they're all very competitive. Winn ends up becoming the narrator, doing weird voices or adding in nerdy jokes, which helps occasionally dispel the tension. Occasionally.
To Alex and Maggie's surprise, it's Lena and Kara who win. Kara whoops when they do and gives Lena a high five and a swift kiss.
"When did you guys get so good?" Alex asks.
"They're both geniuses," Winn says.
"So are we," Alex reminds him.
"Right. I guess it's just not your lucky day?" Winn gives them a lopsided smile.
"You guys nearly beat us." Lena extends her hand. "It was a good game."
"Are you trying to shake my...?" Alex rolls her she's and hugs Lena. "You should know that we're a hugging family by now," Alex teases.
Lena chuckles and smiles as Alex pulls back. "I wasn't sure if that was still a thing after beating you at pool."
"Mm. I let you win, so it doesn't count."
"What? You did not," Kara protests.
"Yes I did. I'm letting you guys have a once-in-a-lifetime experience of not losing to me. Consider it a going away present. You're welcome." Alex winks, smirking.
"Best two out of three?" Lena asks before Kara can chase Alex down.
Alex and Kara exchange a look. "Deal," they both say.

"Luck. That's what it was. Luck." Alex says after she and Maggie lose.
"Sure it is. Or maybe it was you who has luck since you only managed to win against us once before we won again." Lena says, her eyes glittering with amusement.
"You..." Alex gives her a threatening look and points a finger at her. "Are so much more cheeky than you were when you first came here. You're lucky you're dating my sister."
Lena gives Kara a soft look. "I know."
Alex makes grossed out noises as her sister and Lena kiss.
I'm hoping that was good? I really need to plan this book out, but I don't have the time at the moment sadly... Maybe next time I'll know what the heck will happen next? Vague plans aren't as good as more solid plans... Anyway, thank you all for reading and for your amazing comments! Stay awesome!
