In Two Minds

New And Old Lovers

"What are you doing here Sara?" Alex stood by her window, Quinn had gone to sleep the moment her head hit the pillow, her pillow, not Sara's.

" I can't discuss that with you, Alex. "

"Why?"

" Because it is personal. " None of your business.

Alex felt her blood boiling, Quinn didn't need Sara Lance coming back here now giving her ideas of happily ever after, she cursed silently because most of all she didn't need that.

"This is nothing to do with you Alex, she most probably hasn't told you anything about her." I know everything though, I was there.

Alex stood smugly. "Wrong Sara Quinn told me about her past, there are no secrets between us."

"I see." Sara felt the undeniable pull of sadness at the knowledge.

"So you can tell me what you want with Quinn, she is my girlfriend." Emphasis on my.

" Be that as it may, she will not appreciate me telling anyone before her, I'll come back in the morning. "

Sara didn't wait for a goodbye she made her exit quick and effective, closing the door quietly behind her.

Alex watched the door for a few minutes going through all the ways in which she was totally unlucky, before turning the lights off and going to join Quinn in bed.

Sara stood contemplating if she could throw something, of all the people Quinn could have ended up with she had found herself with Alex Danvers.

"How has this happened?" She sunk her head into her hands releasing the tears that she had let build up since Quinn had left.

"I take it your talk with Quinn didn't go well," Zari said sympathetically.

" We didn't really talk she was drunk doing a bar dance. "

"I knew that girl looked fun, where is this bar?" Mick snuck up behind them suddenly very interested in their conversation.

Sara rolled her eyes. "She went home." She said sadly. "Her girlfriend took her home. "

"Ahh, and blondie is jealous she didn't get to take her home."

" Very subtle Mick. " Zari chastised.

Sara hated when Mick was right, she folded her arms and glared back at him, he shrugged uninterested.

"Fine, if she will be coming aboard I'm going to hide my beer."

He left in search of a place to stash his beer somewhere Quinn would never find them.

"So her girlfriend huh," Zari asked.

"Yes, Alex." Suddenly I hate that woman.

" Ah okay, but Sara how can you be so..so jealous when you sleep with whoever you want. " Sara went to protest but Zari cut her off. "No, listen I'm not saying that is wrong, but she finds someone and has a relationship with them how is that different to your casual encounters?"

" It's different because casual is just that, casual it means nothing sometimes you gotta release something. " Sara shrugged trying to make sense.

"You are not making any sense."

" Quinn loved me for as long as I can remember, I finally looked at her one day and saw what a precious jewel she was, I fell in love with her too. " Sara sighed at the memory.
