Training

Alex: Ok Quinn, focus on being there. 

It has been a couple of weeks since my last major episode in Lena's lab. I do have some small ones here and there, but someone always manages to pull me out. Despite this, my nightmares have come back with a vengeance. I haven't been sleeping much at all. Diana has taken notice and was trying to help. I hate putting my problems on her, so I've been getting better at hiding it. At least I think I am. Kara started to notice a couple of days ago when her and Alex come over for a couple of days. I woke up in a jolt and I guess I screamed beforehand. It wasn't super loud. Of course it woke Diana up, but You wouldn't have really been able to hear it outside of my room. Unlessss you are a Kryptonian with super hearing. Damn these powers. Kara has been asking many questions since I told her about my life on Krypton. I don't blame her. But having to remember and relive all of these memories isn't helping me at night. Actually, ever since this Zod thing they have been getting increasingly worse. But I can figure it out. I always do. Usually.... I've got this.. right? RIGHT? Anyway, we are outside of my house trying to practice on my powers. Kara has made it her goal to train me. Diana and Alex have decided to join. So that leads me to now, where I am trying to project myself to Diana who is three miles away from me. I can literally see her, and I'm still having trouble. They made it her that I have to get to because the last time I projected, she made me faulter. So if I can get this down pact with her, I can master it. 

Alex: Quinn, focus. 

Me: I am!

We've been at it for almost an hour. To say I am frustrated is an understatement. Why the in the FLYING FLICK FLUCK can't I even project now?!  Ridiculous. Ok Quinn, focus. Project to your Amazonian girlfriend. Girlfriend?! Lover? Partner? Project to your very attractive woman that you have major feelings for and have yet to go on a date with but you are going on one today and are very excited about because you've never been to one and...

Kara: Good job!

What? She just interrupted my rant yall. 

Diana: You were with me for a second there. What happened? Why'd you stop?

Me: Well I didn't realize I was doing it to be honest. 

Diana: Don't focus too much on the specifics. Just come to me. *She smiles as she finished her sentence. Can't we just tie the knot now?*

OK Quinn. I close my eyes and pretend I am with Diana. I feel the power rising in my chest. Envision it. You've got this. I feel apart of myself leave me and I can see myself standing next to Diana. I look back to where I was, well am and see Alex, Kara, and Myself standing there. My eyes are closed and there is a very soft blue light radiating off of me. I look at Diana and she has the biggest smile on her face. 

Diana: Good job. 

I fist pump the air in celebration. 

Alex: Now touch her Diana. 

Kara: PG-13. Rao please PG-13!! NO! Just PG!

We laugh and I face her. Ok, you've got to get used to this. Don't faulter. 

Diana: Ready?

Me: For you to touch me? Always. *I give her a smile and wiggle my eyebrows. She just smiles and chuckles* Ok, lets go. 

She starts by putting her hand into mine. I can feel her. But it's more than that. I can feel her...everything. It is hard to explain. Like her life force? I don't know. I don't focus on that too much. I continue to put my attention on Diana. She softly traces one of her hands from mine up my arm. I gather the courage to take her hand that is still in mine and bring it up to my lips to kiss it. I feel her pause and look up at her. Did I mess up? Or did she really stop herself? She is looking at me still. I look over to see she just paused, but her hand is still on my arm. Ok good, I haven't stopped. I can do this. I give her hand a few quick pecks and put it on my shoulder, placing my hand on her waist. I give her waist small soft circles and think about the day I first saw her. She was absolutely gorgeous. She's changed her suit since then. She now rocks a gold full body suit with wings. She is working with Kara and I on flying. I didn't know she had the ability to fly until Kal told me. When I first asked her about it she couldn't stay in the air long. She can jump incredible distances, but couldn't get flying down. So, we started out using her lasso. Yesterday we tried without it and she stayed in the air for about a minute. I was so proud of her. I convinced her to keep the wings because of that. Well I wanted her to add wings to her old suit, but she changed the whole thing. She said it was time for a suit change anyway. She was getting tired of the skirt and chest piece. The new suit really suits her. Excuse the pun. Not saying I didn't like the first one. She looked amazing in it. But you know who was also looking? Perverts and little tween boys that fan girl over her. You know she had someone walk up to her asking to do IT?! I should have ripped their head off right then. What the freak? Who the hell ask someone that? You don't even know her... I get pulled out of my internal rant with her tugging at the hairs on the back of my neck. She gives me some light scratches before taking a step closer to me. I get lost in her beautiful eyes. I want my kids to have her eyes. I want my kids to have her everything. She is perfect. So perfect in my eyes. She lightly tugs on my neck and I know she is asking permission to kiss me. She probably wants to make sure I am still grounded and won't disappear. I put my other hand on her waist and bring her flush into me. She leans in and hesitates for a second. I bring my hands to cup her cheeks. I look into her eyes and pull her in so I can kiss her. Her hands find my wrists and she quickly reciprocates. Our kiss doesn't last long. I pull away knowing Kara and Alex are still standing by me. When we pull away I look down to make sure I am still with Diana. To my surprise, I am. I look over to my sisters and tap into my hearing. I catch the last part of their conversation. 

Alex: ....Definitely in love with each other. 

Kara: You think? They haven't even made it official. 

Alex: Love waits for no one. You should know that. 

Kara: We both know that. 

I stop listening to them. Am I in love with Diana? What does love truly feel like? Is it too soon? Should I have tried to make it official? Am I fucking this up? Am I going to slow for her? She would tell me right? I'm overthinking. She likes you Quinn, stop overthinking. 

Diana: You did so well. I am proud of you my love. 

I smile at her. 

Me: Thank you. 

Kara waves her hands to get our attention. She's got a mischievous smile on her face.  

Kara: Now for some hand to hand. 

Me: Against which one of you?

Alex: All of us. 

What the hell?

AN* Shello! Quinn is back! It was time for an update for this one. I missed writing about her. I think this is the most feminine and vulnerable one of all of my characters, so it is a bit different writing about her and her life. But fun nonetheless! I tried to give you a little glimpse on what goes on in her head. How are we doing? What are we liking/disliking about this book? Don't forget to comment and vote!!
