WARNINGS: Mention of anxiety, and alcohol

You were so overwhelmed by just about everything in your life right now, between work, going back to college, maintaining a social life, and your relationship you had a hard time keeping up. All of this had worsened your anxiety and lately, you'd become even more stressed, which made you irritable and Alex caught on.

"Baby, what's wrong?" She asked as she sat beside you on the couch. "You were really quiet and kind of rude when we went over to Kara's tonight. Is everything ok?" Her voice was soft and she rubbed your back as she spoke.

"I'm fine." You said coldly, looking away from her.

"No, you aren't." She shakes her head, "I know you, and you only act this way when something's the matter. So what is it?"

"Why can't you just take 'I'm fine' as an answer? I told you that there's nothing wrong, so butt the hell out, Alex." You snapped. You felt kind of bad about it afterward, but you couldn't stop the words from coming out of your mouth.

She scoffed, "You're unbelievable. Excuse me for caring about my girlfriend. You know what, next time I won't even ask." Alex stomps off to the bedroom and slams the door.

You start crying, out of both frustration and regret. You needed to get out of here and do something. Something that'll take your pain away and make you forget, even if it's just for the night. You find yourself in the alien bar that you usually go to with Kara, Alex and the rest of the group. You order a shot of tequila, then two, then three. Several more alcoholic beverages later, you've started a bar fight with a group of aliens. You don't even remember how you pissed them off, but they were angry and stronger than you. At this point, you were dead meat.
-
You were on the ground, bruised, cut, and slowly going unconscious. Not even the fighting techniques that Alex showed you could help you. The fact that you were completely wasted didn't help either. The last thing you remember before blacking out is Alex's face hovering above you.
-
You wake in the DEO, Alex, Kara, J'onn, Winn, and James all surrounding the bed you lay on.

"How the hell did I end up here?" You ask groggily as you rub the sleep from your eyes.

"Someone at the bar called in the fight." J'onn stated simply. "What exactly were you thinking, starting a fight with a group of drunk aliens at one in the morning?" He asks sternly, giving you a disapproving look.

"I guess I wasn't..." You answered in a small voice, a little embarrassed.

"We're happy you're okay, Y/N." Kara chimes in, bending down to give you a light hug. As usual, Kara was always trying to be positive.

Alex spoke up for the first time since you'd woken up. "Would everyone mind giving Y/N and I a moment alone?" She asks.

Everyone agrees and quickly leaves the room, leaving you and Alex alone.

"You could've died last night, you know that, right?" She asks in a biting tone.

"Yes, I know that Alex. We don't have to rehash any of last night's events." You protest.

"Yeah, I think we do. I don't know what I would've done if you had died, or gotten hurt even worse than you did." She had to pause to keep herself from crying. "Why did you go out there? What was wrong last night, Y/N?"

"I'm just a little stressed and overwhelmed and my anxiety...." You stopped, knowing Alex got the message.

"Why didn't you just talk to me, or someone else? You know we're all here for you."

"You, Kara, and Winn already have enough on your plate between the DEO and supergirl stuff, and Winn also has Guardian stuff with James.. I didn't want to dump all my problems on you when you all have enough to worry about. " You say, looking down at your lap.

Alex puts a finger under your chin, moving it so you're looking at her. "Babe, I am never too busy to talk to you, especially about what's causing your anxiety." She sighs, getting up out of her chair to lay next to you on the bed. "Just promise me you'll talk to me next time, instead of getting hammered in an alien bar."

You chuckle a little cuddling into Alex's side. "I promise."
