章節 6: Supergirl ~ Triggers ~ Part One
***
Alex woke up the next morning to a hand grabbing hers. She grinned and turned over in bed, and Maggie grinned back at her from where she was hovering over her. Alex giggled and cupped Maggie's face, kissing her as her fiancée kissed her back.
***
Sam's alarm clock rang, and she reached over, slapping it and turning it off. She turned back around in bed, then smirked and pulled the comforter down and away from the body next to her. Ruby squeaked and tried to pull it back up, but Sam laughed and pulled it back down, kissing her daughter on the forehead.
***
Kara was stirred awake not by the sound of an alarm going off or by someone waking her up, but by the scent of batter cooking. She sniffed again, blinking her eyes open, then turned around in bed, to find Oliver wasn't with her. However, when she inhaled again, she could smell pancakes cooking, and she could hear Oliver and William speaking. She smiled fondly and sat up, ready to begin her day.
***
Alex brought breakfast over to the island as Maggie finished drizzling a generous amount of honey into her mug. She slid another one over to Alex, who smiled as she drank her coffee. When breakfast was done, both swiped their badges from the table and headed out the door.
***
Sam grabbed the waffles when they popped out of the toaster, dropping them onto plates and bringing them over to the table, sliding one plate over to Ruby. Ruby looked up, biting her lip as Sam checked her phone before starting to eat.
***
"Is this what you eat when Dad's not here?" William wrinkled his nose at a sugary cereal Kara had left by the sink.
"Oh, not everyone's as great a chef as he is," Kara blushed, even as Oliver laughed.
"Flattery will get you everywhere, angel," Oliver grinned, giving her a kiss before handing her a stack of pancakes. "Good luck finding which ones are blueberry and chocolate chip."
Kara whooped in delight, making Oliver and William grin at each other.
***
Sam bent down to pull her shoes on, trying to keep her balance. Ruby walked up to her and handed her her keys, and Sam put them in her mouth as she finished. A moment later, she stood up, and Ruby opened the door. Sam grinned and let her leave first, shutting the door behind her.
***
Oliver snorted in amusement, watching Kara lift up their bed to try and find her shoes. "That's a new one."
"Shut up," Kara blushed, reaching down and finding her shoes, pausing when she saw a book lying abandoned underneath.
She set her jaw and set the bed back down, ignoring the book. "Still up for lunch?" she asked as she hopped on one foot, putting her shoes on.
"Wouldn't miss it," Oliver smiled, watching her straighten back up. "Love you."
"Love you, too," she smiled, kissing him. She grabbed her back as she left the bedroom, walking over to where William was watching the TV. "Have a good day," she ruffled his hair.
William squirmed, but gave her a quick hug. "You, too!"
She smiled and waved, heading out the door.

"All right, kiddo," Sam smiled as she pulled up to Ruby's school.
"Don't forget, I have to buy all the books after school, so you have to pick me up at 5:30," Ruby told her.
Sam sighed. "Baby, Mrs. Crawler's picking you up because I have meetings all afternoon, OK?"
"Oh," Ruby's face fell. "I forgot."
"I mean, it's my first day, you know," Sam explained. "I just . . . I can't get out early. And you remember how I was telling you that this was an incredible opportunity?"
"Yeah," Ruby nodded.
"What I meant was money," Sam grinned. "Mom's gonna be making just, like, lots and lots of money."
"Do you remember the other day at the waterfront?" Ruby suddenly asked.
"Yeah, I remember," Sam frowned.
"Was it just you and those other people that came to help William and me?"
"Yep, just us."
"It was pretty huge."
"It was pretty huge," Sam agreed. "I never got the other guy's name, but we were both worried about you. Me for you, him for William. Parents, they get this adrenaline rush when their kids are in danger. We had the strength of, like, I don't know . . . ten parents."
"I think it would have taken thirty parents," Ruby smirked.
"It's not a big deal," Sam sighed. "You will understand when you have kids."

Lena walked out of Cat's elevator at CatCo, taking a deep breath and looking around the building she now owned. "Miss Luthor!" a cheery voice called, and Lena turned as a blonde woman approached her with a wide smile. "It's so nice to see you!"
"Eve Teschmacher, right?" Lena asked with an answering smile.
She squealed and nodded. "Sorry, I'm a huge admirer of yours!"
"Thank you, Eve," Lena nodded politely.
"Oh, uh, can I get you a coffee?" Eve came around her desk. "You take it black, right?" Lena blinked in surprise, and Eve hastened to explain. "I'm not stalking you. I emailed your assistant at L-Corp about all your favorite things. I hate salmon, too."
Lena couldn't help but laugh. "Well, thank you. Yes, a coffee would be lovely."
"Great," Eve grinned, turning to leave.
"Eve?" Lena frowned in confusion, pointing behind her. "Why don't you just use this elevator? It'll go straight to the ground floor."
"Oh, no, only the boss can use it," Eve shook her head.
Lena snorted. "That's just silly. Anybody who needs it should be able to use it."
"All right," Eve smiled, walking past her to the elevator.
"Miss Luthor!" James walked up, a surprised look on his face. "I didn't know you'd be here this morning."
"Yeah, I was able to get things in line over at L-Corp," Lena nodded.
"That's good," James said. "I wanna say thanks again for saving CatCo. And we should really figure out a way to get you up to speed on what's happening here. I was thinking weekly meetings, or – "
