Capítulo 40: Chapter 40
Kara watches nervously as her girlfriend and adoptive mother make their way back to them. Lena looks calm but Kara knows that she's an expert at hiding her true emotions. Lena raises an amused eyebrow when she sees that her girlfriend is practically bouncing in place with a worried expression.
As soon as Lena gets close enough, Kara blurts out. "So what did she say?"
Maggie and Alex chuckle quietly beside her at her eagerness but she ignores them.
"She gave me a talk that was surprisingly close to what Alex said." Lena says. "Except she did grill me a little bit as well."
"Like mother like daughter." Maggie teases, nudging her disgruntled looking girlfriend.
"Ugh," Alex groans.
Eliza, who has been a few steps behind Lena and heard everything, speaks up. "What's so bad about being like me, Alex?"
Lena, Kara, Maggie, and Jeremiah all laugh at the horrified expression on Alex's face.
"Nothing, Mom." Alex squeaks out.
Eliza's stoic face breaks into a wide smile as she chuckles. "I'm kidding, dear."
Alex pouts for a moment and then grumbles under her breath, earning an adoring look from her girlfriend and a kiss on the cheek. Her eyes go almost comically wide and she blushes.
"As much as I love seeing my daughters with their girlfriends," Jeremiah begins with a soft smile. "We should address Lillian."
Lena purses her lips at the sound of her mother's name and nods. Kara moves closer and holds her hand.
"Jeremiah," Eliza sighs. "These girls just got back from a very long trip that got extended because of assassins." She turns to Lena for a moment. "Thank you for that, we really appreciate you bringing them to us." Lena nods in response and Eliza looks back at her husband. "They need rest, honey."
Jeremiah looks sheepish. "Right. I just really want to catch her."
"As do I," Lena says. "We can discuss my mother tomorrow, after we've all gotten a good nights sleep."
Eliza nods in agreement, refocusing her attention on Kara and Lena. "I don't want to assume, so I'll ask. Lena, would you like a room of your own or are you going to be sleeping with Kara?"
Kara lets out a startled squeak at the question while Lena blinks in surprise, both of their cheeks tinged pink. She didn't expect Kara's parents to be accepting enough of them to allow them to sleep next to each other, let alone mention it or offer it as an option.
"We haven't discussed it." Lena admits. "Kara?" She turns her attention to he girlfriend, who's shyly fiddling with her glasses.
"Um. If you want, I would love to have you in my room. But if not, that's fine too. I want you to be comfortable."
Lena smiles softly at her rambling girlfriend. "Then I'll stay in your room." She then speaks quieter so that only Kara can hear her. "I would miss sleeping next to you."
Kara's blush deepens and she practically swoons at Lena's words, which Maggie and Alex notice but decide not to comment on.
"Alright, then it's settled." Jeremiah says. "You girls get some rest. Dinner should be ready in a couple of hours. If you don't know the time it'll be done, ask Kara." He winks at his daughter while her girlfriend chuckles. "Love you, kiddos."
Alex rolls her eyes at the word "kiddos" but hugs him and kisses his cheek. It's just such a dad word. "Love you too, Dad."
Kara and Alex hug their parents and kiss their cheeks before saying goodbye and leaving with their girlfriends.
"So. Where are we going?" Maggie asks, following the Danvers sisters' lead alongside Lena.
"My room!" Kara cheers. "Alex says that's where she put the cakes!"
Lena smiles as her girlfriend practically skips down the hallway at the promise of food.
"So, Lena." Maggie says, pulling her attention away from Kara. "What did you say to Kara earlier to make her blush like that?"
"I told her I would miss sleeping next to her." Lena answers.
"Aww, that's sweet. So Kara slept in your bed while you guys traveled?"
Lena nods. "Yeah, she was an unexpected but not unwelcome guest. We didn't have enough tents, and the few people who offered didn't have... Lets just say that they didn't have pure intentions." Maggie nods understandingly. "So I allowed her to sleep in my tent with me."
"Alex!" Kara's voice is louder than usual and she sounds frustrated, a stark contrast to Alex's laughter. "No way! Potstickers are so much better than pizza!"
Maggie and Lena exchange an amused look at their girlfriends' antics. Lena gets an odd feeling in her chest afterwards as she fondly watches her girlfriend list off the ways potstickers are better. Is she... Is she making a friend?
"Lena, back me up!" Kara says, her and Alex pausing to let Lena and Maggie catch up.
"Sorry, darling. I like pizza better."
"Ha!" Alex exclaims, pointing at her sister while Kara lets out an affronted gasp.
"You're in for it now, Luthor." Maggie teases, noting how Lena flinches slightly at the sound of her last name. She makes a mental note not to call her that anymore, at least until Lena's comfortable with it.
Alex and Kara continue debating, or in Kara's case, arguing. Maggie taps Lena's arm to get her attention, not sure how much physical contact she's comfortable with.
"Sorry about calling you Luthor." Maggie apologizes, keeping her voice low so the Danvers sisters don't hear it. "I saw that it made you uncomfortable."
Lena presses her lips together, not used to people taking her comfort into consideration, or used to people watching her closely without a hidden agenda.
"It shouldn't," Lena says finally. "But it does. Usually when people say it, it's either with reverence for what Lex tried to do or with so much venom I'm surprised that it isn't paired with a physical blow. But... Kara's been helping me with that. Trying to make me see that I am not my family."
Maggie smiles softly, watching as her girlfriend goes through a lengthy list as to why pizza's better. "Yeah, the Danvers sisters are good at that. They've been through so much, so they know pain. But they're stronger because of it and because of each other. So they can empathize with people who are going through things and understand them."
Lena knows exactly what Maggie's talking about and nods. "The Danvers sisters are one of a kind."
Maggie grins at the sight of Kara tickling Alex to try to get her to admit potstickers are better while Alex screeches with laughter and tries to shove her sister away. "They sure are."
A few minutes later, after a few more classic Danvers sisters moments, they make it to the hallway where Kara and Alex's bedrooms are. Kara holds open her door, gesturing for everyone to go inside. Alex and Maggie go in first and Kara's hand gently touching Lena's stops her from walking inside.
"How are you doing?" Kara asks, pulling her girlfriend closer to her.
There's almost no space between them and Lena reminds herself to breathe. "Better than I expected."
"Good." Kara murmurs, her eyes flicking down to her girlfriend's lips.
Lena glances around nervously. "Kara, are you sure you want to do this here?"
"Only if you do too."
Lena nods and leans in, kissing her girlfriend. It's been too long, they really haven't been able to do this since they got up that morning. They sink into the kiss, ignoring everything but them. Lena melts against Kara, the worries of the day washing away easily.
"What's taking you guys so- oh." Alex's voice makes them break apart.
Lena takes a step back, but not before giving Kara one last peck. She smirks at how dazed her girlfriend looks after just a minute or two of kissing her.
She glances over at the doorway, where Alex has now fled to go back to her own girlfriend. Most likely to try to erase the image of her sister and Lena kissing. Even if it was innocent. They enter Kara's room, with Kara blushing again.
"I told you not to check, babe." Maggie says, amusement thick in her voice.
"Remind me to listen to you next time." Alex says, her voice muffled by a pillow. She's flopped down onto the bed, her face hidden by the pillow she has it pressed against.
"Oh I will." Maggie says and then pokes her girlfriend's side, making her twitch. "Danvers, your sister's finished making out with Lena."
Alex lets out a groan. "How can I bleach that image out of my brain?"
"You're so dramatic, Danvers." Maggie chuckles fondly. "Like we wouldn't be doing the same thing in their shoes."
"Sawyer can you not talk about us making out and my sister in the same sentence?"
"Sure thing, babe. But you might want to get up, Little Danvers is demolishing the cakes already."
Alex sits up to see Lena watching her girlfriend stuff her face with cake with an expression that can only be described as horrified fascination.
"What?" Kara says around a mouthful. "Alex makes really good cake."
Whoo! Maggie and Lena brotp! I actually didn't plan on that being a thing in this chapter, but hey! It worked out! Next chapter, Kara and Alex talk about Alex's mission. Also, maybe dinner if we get that far! Which will feature some other character we haven't seen for a bit... And one last thing, I'm not going to have Lyra be too much like canon (Winn honey you should NEVER be afraid of your partner). She probably won't be around a ton but she'll definitely treat him better than she actually does on Supergirl. Anyway! Thank you all for reading and for your amazing comments! Stay awesome!
