Chapitre 154: Chapter 154
Once Alex and Maggie are finished training together, they head over to greet Lena and Kara. Alex stops first to grab their water bottles, handing Maggie's to her when she catches up.
"Hey. How are you guys doing? Are you ready to train?" Maggie asks before she takes a large sip of her water.
"We're doing good," Lena answers.
"Actually, we have something to tell you guys. It's nothing bad!" Kara quickly adds. "Lena..." She trails off, squinting at her sister and sister-in-law, who are looking at them with barely concealed excitement. "You already know, don't you?"
"Not for sure," Alex says.
"Well, Lena proposed. I said yes."
Alex holds out her hand and Maggie places a ten dollar bill on it. Alex tucks it in her pocket and hugs Lena first.
"I'm happy for you guys!"
"Did you bet on whether I would say yes?" Kara asks as she's pulled into a hug by Maggie.
"No, we bet on when Lena would propose. I thought she would take a little longer," Maggie explains. "We knew you would say yes."
Kara nods and pulls back from Maggie with a smile. She hugs her sister while Lena pulls Maggie into a hug.
"Congratulations. Welcome, officially, to the Danvers family." Maggie says.
Lena chuckles and pulls back. "Jeremiah said something similar."
Maggie smiles, her dimples showing. "Sound like him. Are you two ready to train, or do we want to talk about your wedding?"
Lena glances over to Kara, who hasn't stopped beaming. "Lets train!"
Alex nods and tosses Lena a bow from the DEO armory. Lena grins at the familiar feeling of a bow in her hands. She carefully tests the weight and balance of it and grins wider.
"It's been too long." She murmurs to herself.

After a long day complete with emotional and physical exhaustion, Lena and Kara practically collapse onto their bed. Kara curls up against her fiancée, resting her head on Lena's shoulder and cuddling close. Lena hums softly and runs her fingers through Kara's hair.
They fall asleep easily, snuggled up against each other, only to be awoken in the morning by someone entering their room. Lena snaps awake immediately, reaching for the dagger she keeps under her pillow, onto to see that it's Winn.
"Hey." He waves shyly, but then grows serious. "Sorry to wake you guys up, but I thought you should know that we just got some information on a Cadmus-sympathizing group in National City. According to the DEO's source, they're planning on having a rally in the streets tomorrow."
Kara rubs at her eyes blearily and frowns. "Tomorrow? But tomorrow's..."
"The first day of the Danvers Kingdom Annual Festival? The busiest day of the year? The day merchants prepare for all year? Yeah. It sounds like they're planning on attacking anyone that doesn't look human, and making it seem like it's the alien's fault."
"What?" Lena murmurs and then speaks louder. "How?"
"Um. It sounds like they've hired a few aliens to provoke an attack, and attack the public."
"Do we know exactly when and where?" Kara asks.
"Thanks to J'onn's mind reading abilities and a recently captured member of the xenophobic group, yes we do. But it's going to be big. The streets are going to be jam packed with people tomorrow, and it's going to be chaos if they succeed. We're going to need all hands on deck." Winn grimaces. "I'm sorry that this is all happening so suddenly after you guys got engaged, but if you're up for it, we would be more than happy to have your help."
"You can count me in," Kara says.
Lena nods in agreement. "Of course. And me."
"Good," he breathes out a sigh of relief. "We could use some good sharpshooters. You have a few, right Lena?"
"I do. They'll be willing to help." Lena nods. "I'll talk to them soon about it and send them to the DEO so they can get informed more about the situation. Speaking of which, should we head there to plan?"
Winn nods. "If you guys could, that would be great! We can stop on the way to talk to your people, Lena."
He stands like he's waiting expectantly for them to leave at any moment. Lena raises one eyebrow at him, standing up. His eyes widen and he quickly glances away when he sees how short her nightdress is.
"Let us get dressed first. You can wait outside, Winn."
Winn nods, blushing. "Yeah. Yeah, I can do that." He quickly exits and closes the door behind him.
Kara laughs softly and comes up behind Lena, wrapping her arms around her waist from behind. She presses a gentle kiss to Lena's cheek. Lena turns in her arms and presses a warm, loving kiss to Kara's lips. Kara melts into it, reaching up to gently cup Lena's jaw as the kiss deepens slightly. Lena's the one who pulls back, breathing slightly heavier than usual.
"We should get dressed."
Kara sighs and rests her cheek on Lena's shoulder, pressing her lips against her fiancée's neck. "If we must."
They quickly pull on their clothes, opting for normal ones instead of their armor since the fight will probably be the next day. They walk out the door and Winn falls in step behind them as they head first to the chambers of the archers and sharpshooters Lena has traveled with.
She knocks on their door and it's answered only a moment later by one of them, a scrawny boy that's barely out of his teens. His eyes widen when he sees his Queen outside the door and quickly bows to show his respect.
"My Queen. May I ask why you are at our quarters?
"You may. A group of Cadmus sympathizers are planning an attack in the streets tomorrow."
His eyes widen. "Gods. Isn't tomorrow...?"
"It is," Lena confirms.
"Gods help us, that will be chaos. How can we help?"
"We need expert sharpshooters on rooftops to take out the sympathizers. We need our best people, the ones that won't hit any innocents."
He nods. "I know just the people. We could use the rest to point them out."
Well, here's the angst that was asked for! I wasn't quite sure what I would go with, but apparently it's this! And then the supercorp wedding! And then... The end? We'll see! There is, of course, the prompt book too! And I'm a sucker for epilogues and happy endings, so those will definitely happen! Thank you all for reading and for your amazing comments! Stay awesome!
