"Are you sure you don't need to be in Central City right now for the acquisition?" Felicity asked as she and Kara got Kara's penthouse ready for game night.
"The board convinced me that I should let things settle down a bit there first and they're right, since if I make an offer too soon, it might look suspicious, besides game night is a tradition, I'm not canceling, even though Alex is still off-world with her Green Lantern training." Kara said.
"Yeah, I still can't believe that Alex got recruited to be a Green Lantern. From what you told me, they're pretty exclusive and pretty badass." Felicity said and Kara nodded.
"When I was a child, my dream was being chosen to be a member of the Green Lantern Corp, since you got to travel all over the galaxy, help people, they're real heroes. But I got to be a different kind of hero." Kara said.
"Though you don't get the same cool toys that we Lanterns get." Alex said with a grin as she floated through the open balcony, fully clad in her green lantern uniform.
"Alex, you're back." Kara said happily as she moved and hugged her sister, who smiled as she removed her ring, causing her uniform to disappear.
"Yeah, I just finished training on Oa and I am now officially the Green Lantern of sector 2814." Alex said.
"What happened to that Hal guy, did he get fired?" Kara asked hopefully.
"No, he got promoted actually. He's now a member of the Corps' honor guard, meaning that the Guardians of the Universe view him as too valuable to be confined to just one sector, so now he patrols them all, which means that he'll be offworld a lot more often. The Guardians feel like I'm better suited to serve on Earth, since unlike Hal, I have actual military discipline and I'm better about working with others than Hal is." Alex explained.
"How'd that hot shot get promoted to one of the most prestigious roles in the Corp?" Felicity asked.
"No idea, while the Guardians are apparently these wise beings, they're also very prickly and stuck up. One thing Hal and I agree on is that they need to learn to relax. They're very uptight." Alex said.
"That much is common knowledge to most of the galaxy. They spend too much time isolated on Oa and they think the fact that they don't have emotions is a good thing." Kara said, since this much was common knowledge about the Guardians all over the universe.
"Anyways, it looks like I got back just in time for game night." Alex said with a smile.
"Yep. And now we have an even number of people." Kara said, since before it was only her, Felicity and Lena attending. Now they had enough people for a real game night with Alex home.
"Sounds great. But can I talk to Felicity alone for a moment and by that, I mean no superhearing." Alex said and since Kara had a feeling that she knew what this was about, she eagerly nodded.
"You can use the parlor." Kara said and Alex rolled her eyes once again at how extravagant her sister's penthouse was.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" Felicity asked Alex after they'd walked into the parlor and Alex closed the door behind her.
"Something I had a lot of time to think about while I was on Oa, cut off from any other humans besides Hal." Alex said.
"And that is." Felicity asked.
"Felicity, how long are we going to keep playing this game? Where we both act like neither of us sees the looks we give each other when we think no one else is looking. I think that we both know how we feel about each other." Alex finally said and Felicity couldn't help but smile at where this was going.
"I guess we keep playing this game until one of us decides to make a move to end it." Felicity said as Alex took a tentative step closer to her.
"And what kind of move would that be?" Alex asked, wondering how long they were going to drag this out, since she could tell that both of them knew where this conversation was going, the only questions now were how long would it last, who would make the first move and they were going to end it.
"I guess that depends on who it is." Felicity said as Alex finally couldn't take it anymore as she finally closed the distance between them and kissed Felicity, who immediately reciprocated it.
"Mm, what took you so long?" Felicity asked with a dreamy smile on her face when Alex pulled away.
"I could ask you the same question?" Alex said.
"I know you well enough to know that out of the two of us, you're the one who's brave enough to make the first move. I don't think I can say the same." Felicity admitted and Alex smiled.
"I don't mind. I like being the one to make the first move. But was this just a one off or do you actually want to see where this thing between us goes?" Alex asked and Felicity smiled.
"I want to see where it goes." Felicity said.
"And you're okay with the fact that I might have to disappear for long periods of time on Green Lantern business offworld?" Alex asked, wanting to make sure Felicity knew what she was getting herself into before she committed.
"As long as you promise to always come back to me and maybe even bring me back some cool souvenirs from your trips." Felicity said and Alex chuckled.
"I'm serious, Felicity. Are you sure you're up for this? I did talk to some of the other Lanterns who'd been with the Corp awhile and while they did say it was possible for Lanterns to have romantic relationships, it's not easy and the other person should be made aware of exactly what they're getting themselves into before committing to anything." Alex said.
"Alex, I've wanted this for years, I know what I'm getting myself into and I'm willing to commit, but I need to know that you're willing to do the same. I mean between the DEO, the team and now the Green Lantern Corp, it sounds like you're gonna be pretty busy. Before I commit to this, I need to know that you're gonna be able to make time for us, since while I understand that you being gone sometimes, but I can't have you just assuming that I'll stick around while you're juggling your different jobs." Felicity said.
"Felicity, I've wanted this just as long as you have and I promise I'll make time, since J'onn will no doubt be accommodating of my work hours with my duties to the Corp and since I'm not the title hero of National City, I don't need to jump at every crisis like Kara will and if it ever gets to the point where I have to choose between my ring and you, this ring can find someone else to wear it." Alex told her.
"You'd give it up for me?" Felicity asked, unable to believe Alex would do that.
"I don't need a ring to be a hero and the galaxy has plenty of potential Green Lantern recruits in it. If the Guardians have a problem with that, then they can take it up with me." Alex said and Felicity smiled.
"Then why don't we go out on an actual date tomorrow night, since I think Kara would kill us if we ditched game night." Felicity said.
"Or maybe it would finally get her and Lena alone to discuss their feelings for each other." Alex said.
"You see it then?" Felicity asked and Alex chuckled.
"I think the only people who don't see the connection are the two of them." Alex said.
