Last Night

Chapter 7

It had been a few days since the reporter incident, but everything had blown over without any damage. Kara was back at the DEO ready to take on whatever menace j'onn had for her. Today was a quiet day in National City though, so Kara was busy playing with the alien dog they had found recently. She had been spending every spare minute she could with the dog, making sure he had everything he needed, and that he wasn't lonely.
"Hey Vasquez!" Kara called. Vasquez abandoned her post at the computers so she could talk to Kara.
"Yes mam?" Vasquez said as she approached. Kara just laughed.
"I told you to stop calling me that! You're allowed to call me Kara you know."
"Right sorry."
"That's okay. Anyways I was just wondering what was happening with this guy." Kara said scratch the dog behind his ears.
"Well if we don't find a home for him soon... things aren't looking too good for him." Vasquez said seriously. Kara frowned.
"Nobody here will take him?" Vasquez just shook her head sadly. "Can't he stay here as like a mascot or something? Or maybe we could train him to be a tracker and catch aliens?" Kara asked hopefully.
"I don't think J'onn would be too happy with that..."
"Ugh. Well thanks for trying Vasquez, I'll see you later." Kara walked out of the DEO and dialled Lena's number.
"Hey Kara! What's up?" Lena answered cheerfully.
"Ohh not much, I just had a question for you."
"Okay shoot."
"How do you feel about dogs?" Kara asked.
"Dogs? Why, what about them?"
"Just do you like them? What do you think of them?"
"Well, I never had a dog when I was little, but I always wanted one. I've always thought other people's dogs were cute... so yeah I guess I like them." Lena said.
"Would you want to have a dog?"
"....Kara, if I come home to a dog in my apartment I swear..."
"I didn't get a dog. Yet. Don't worry. Remember that alien dog I told you about the other day?" Kara reassured her.
"Yeah what about him?"
"Well nobody wants to take him, and if we don't find him a home soon J'onn's going to get rid of him."
"Kara are you asking me if I'll take him?"
"Yes will you please?! I promise I'll help you take care of him!" Kara pleaded.
"Kara if you like this dog so much why don't you adopt him..?"
"I'm not allowed pets in my apartment." Kara said glumly. Lena sighed.
"I'll think about it...-"
"Yes! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"Now wait a minute Kara, I haven't said yes yet. I want to look at him first and make sure he doesn't shoot lasers or anything."
"Okay. Okay. I'll bring you to see him tomorrow is that okay?"
"Tomorrow at lunch?"
"See you then!" Kara said excitedly.
------
The next day Kara could hardly wait for lunch to come, she was so excited. When lunchtime finally rolled around she rushed over to L-corp to meet Lena, and flew them over to the DEO.
"Lena?! Hi no offence but what are you doing here??" Alex asked alarmed when Kara and Lena burst through the doors. "Kara, you can't keep bringing people here without permission!" Alex scolded.
"I know. I know, but she's here for the dog! Kara said excitedly.
"Oh really? You're going to adopt him?That's great!"
"I said i would look at him and then think about adopting him." Lena said pointedly at Kara.
"Well good luck with that!" Alex laughed, there was no way Lena was walking out of here without a dog. Not when her sister was involved.
---
Kara and Lena found the dog laying down in one of the back rooms. Kara crouched down and called the dog over. "Come here boy!" The dog got up and rushed over to Kara, tail wagging, and started to lick her all over. "Okay. Okay, calm down boy, I missed you too." Kara said giggling. "Come say hi to Lena." Kara said motioning for Lena to come closer. The dog hesitantly sniffed Lena's outstretched hand. The dog, deciding Lena was a friend, licked her hand, and Lena's heart melted.
"I'll take him." Lena whispered, sinking to the ground to pet the dog.
"Yay!" Kara exclaimed, throwing her arms around both the dog, and Lena.
