Chapitre 97: Chapter 97
"How did this all go by so quickly?" Kara wonders aloud.
She and Lena had been finalizing plans all day, so Kara had figured they deserved a break. So at Kara's insistence, they headed to the gardens with Maggie and Alex, who have been working just as hard as they have. With them, however, they've been working on a vague plan for their wedding along with helping Kara and Lena.
Lena is leaning against a tree, a book on something Kara thinks isn't relaxing, but Lena has said that her "nerdy books," as Maggie calls them, are relaxing for her. Kara is lying on the soft grass, her head resting on Lena's thighs.
Maggie and Alex are sitting on the grass, leaning against each other and cuddling.
"I don't know, darling." Lena murmurs, almost absentmindedly as she begins running her fingers through Kara's hair. Kara hums contently.
"I can't believe you're leaving after tomorrow," Alex sighs. "How are you going to survive being so far away from your amazing sister?"
"I'll probably fly back more often than is socially acceptable," Kara admits. "That's how I'll survive being so far away from you guys. I'm going to miss you."
Lena places her bookmark (a pretty lead that Kara had given her earlier) in her book and sets it aside, giving her girlfriend her undivided attention.
"You don't have to come with me, darling. You can change your mind at any time." Lena promises softly, continuing to run her fingers through Kara's silky blonde hair.
Kara practically melts in her lap, a goofy smile directed at her girlfriend. "I know, Lee. I want to go, I'm not going to change my mind. Unless the world is ending."
"You have a badass sister to make certain that doesn't happen, Little Danvers." Maggie points out, smiling softly at her fiancée.
"I have two badass sisters that'll make sure that doesn't happen." Kara corrects her.
She raises her arm above her and holds up two fingers. Her arm flops back down, making a dent in the ground and the grass (much to Lena's amusement), humming and wiggling to get comfier against Lena's thigh.
Kara hears Maggie's heart rate and looks over, concerned by the quick pace. Especially since she isn't hearing the smacking of her kissing her sister, which ew, but it's usually what causes her heart rate to increase like that. Maggie's beaming widely, causing the corners of her eyes to crinkle, her eyes small slits because of how big her smile is. Kara notices a tear slide down Maggie's face, but Maggie doesn't seem to notice or care.
"Why are you crying?" Kara asks worriedly.
Maggie shakes her head, like she's trying to refocus herself. "Two sisters?"
Kara smiles, understanding. She had cried the first time Alex called her her sister without prompting. "Yeah. You're part of the Danvers family now, Maggie."
Maggie chuckles wetly, her smile wobbly. "Your parents said the same thing."
"Maggie cried then too."
Maggie nudges her fiancée. "Shut up, you nerd. You're literally crying right now too."
Alex sniffs and wipes the wetness from her cheeks. "It's allergies."
Maggie laughs heartily. "Babe, the only thing you're allergic to is feelings."
Alex nudges her fiancée, grinning. "You know I'm not. I'm getting better."
"I know, Allie. You're doing great." Maggie kisses Alex's cheek and Kara pretends to be focused intently on the sky.
There's silence as Maggie and Alex revel in being close to each other, out in the sun like this.
"I can't believe tomorrow's my last full day before we go. Where did time go?" Kara sighs.
"Mm. I know. It came fast. And I won't even make a 'that's what she said' joke about that." Maggie smirks.
Alex groans, "Mags."
"You love my jokes."
"I put up with them because I love you," Alex shoots back.
An amused twitch of her lip gives her away and Maggie smiles. She knows Alex finds her jokes funny.
"Oh!" Maggie perks up. "I actually have an idea. We can go out and have fun before you go."
"I think your idea of a night of fun may be different than mine," Lena says.
"Mm. Maybe not. We both have beautiful girls on our arms." Maggie smirks and Lena raises one eyebrow at her while the Danvers sisters make faces. "What I meant was go out and get a drink at our favorite alien bar."
"I don't want to be hungover when we start traveling. That alien stuff is..." She grimaces.
"You didn't even have a bad hangover." Alex says.
"It probably felt bad for someone who's never really had a headache on earth before," Maggie points out.
"She's had headaches before when she was training with me or J'onn. We knock her around a bit."
"It didn't feel like that kind of headache, it felt more like a Kryptonite feel. I wasn't as queasy though." Kara admits.
"So maybe we don't drink that much," Maggie suggests. "Or we go out tonight so we have tomorrow to recover."
"I don't want to die inside because of a hangover, to be honest. I want to enjoy your guys' company." Alex admits. "Lets go tonight, though. Tomorrow night we can hang out in the gardens with more people."
"Sounds good to me," Kara agrees.
"I'm in," Lena says.
"Alright, so that's the plan? Go out tonight and not get too drunk? Then tomorrow night be here?" Maggie asks for clarification.
"Yeah. Wait, do we invite Winn and Lyra for tonight?" Alex asks.
"He's our brother, I think we should. Unless we want a girls' night out."
They agree and Alex heads off to go ask Winn. Maggie lies back on the grass, closing her eyes and relaxing.
"So alien alcohol does work on you?" Lena asks as Maggie snores softly.
"Yeah," Kara answers, then looks up at Lena's ace. "Why? Are you planning on getting me drunk?"
"No, darling. I am just trying to imagine you drunk." Lena admits.
"Alex says I get really giggly."
Lena lets out an unrestrained laugh.
Whoo! Done! Took me a bit because I couldn't figure out where I should go from here... And if you're like "wait wasn't this supposed to be out yesterday?" Well... Yes. It was supposed to be written two days ago, so I had it all nice and ready to post, but that didn't happen. On Thursday I had two exams, so I spent the entire morning studying. I think I did well? We'll see, I guess! And then I had a paper due Friday that I had like two sentences done on. Honestly, it was for peer review so I didn't worry too much, but I managed to crank out a page! Completely tried my brain, though. Try being a non-sciencey person writing a paper where you have to explain DNA replication. In detail. Yeah, that was me. Anyway! Figured I would clarify the why and all that in case any of you wondered! Thank you all for reading and for your amazing comments! Stay awesome!
