The Gifted

Who was that?

Kara stood still for a moment, unable to move any muscle in her body after Lena's outburst, she was confused more than anything. Last time she checked it was Lena who had rejected her, who had distanced herself from her, she stopped going to the den, she never came to the Superfriends weekly meeting anymore, how on earth had this whole thing turned into Kara's fault all of a sudden? She heard Alex say something behind her, but she could barley hear her over the sound of her own thoughts. 

Alex watched her sisters gaze follow a brunette figure out of the room, she could tell by the way the woman had stormed off, that whatever their conversation was about, it wasn't anything pleasant. And Alex would be dammed if she was going to let some girl bully her little sister. Kara finally managed to return her gaze back to Alex, subduing the anger that had awoken within her body, after thinking about what she had done to make Lena angry, and come up completely empty. 

"Who was that?" Alex asked curiously, narrowing her eyes slightly, she was ready to put that bitch in her place if it came down to it, nobody messed with a Danvers, especially not Alex's little sister. Kara's cheeks burned a slight shade of red at the question, at first she wasn't sure how to answer it, was she for instance 'the stranger who kissed her' or maybe she was 'the mad scientist who helped Kara and her roommate with their superhero abilities.' 

"Oh, who- her?" Kara gestured to where Lena had once stood, and Alex raised an eyebrow, she had known Kara her whole life, she couldn't fool her, Kara was such a bad liar she could barley fool a child, or even a toddler at this point. "That's Lena." Kara decided to settle on the most simple option, she knew better than to give Alex her last name, otherwise a whole FBI style social media stalk would commence. Kara quickly brushed it off, like their relationship was the most casual you could possibly have, which it wasn't, in fact it was the complete opposite. 

Alex pouted slightly, cocking her head to the side like a curious spaniel would do. Kara's cheeks grew more and more red as the sisters stood in silence, Alex trying to wait Kara out long enough to get more information about the mysterious woman. 

"And...Do we like this Lena?" Alex lengthened Lena's name dramatically, as she flashed her eyes wider, teasingly towards her sister, as she saw the redness on her face caused by her obvious embarrassment. Kara tripped over her own tongue, as she was trying to figure out the question for herself. The truth was she wasn't even sure if she liked Lena anymore, even as a friend, or a fellow student. These past weeks, she had missed her company, for sure, but after some of Lena's hard truths, and rejections, she really had no idea about her feelings towards the brunette. 

As if almost sensing Kara's struggle to pin point her exact feelings about the woman, Alex dragged the blonde through the halls of the university, until she came face to face with what looked like someone important, who should know the whereabouts of students in the building. Kara was complaining the whole way, asking Alex repeatedly what she was doing and where she was going, but Alex said nothing, knowing this would only work if it was a complete surprise. 

"Sorry, excuse me, do you know where Lena could be?" Alex asked innocently, Kara's mouth flew open, trying to stop whatever Alex was going to do, but it was already to late the question had already been asked. 

"If you mean Lena Luthor, she should be in lab two, if she isn't at the family event." The woman smiled helpfully as Alex thanked her profusely, she could tell by the both confused and scared expression on Kara's face, that she did in fact mean 'Lena Luthor.' Alex dragged Kara through corridor after corridor, falling the signs for the science labs. Kara could have easily used her powers to stop Alex in her path, but she was not ready to have that conversation, no way. Lena had told her that revealing her real identity to anyone, could put not only herself but anyone she loved in danger, and she would never do that to Alex or Eliza.

Alex finally stood outside the door to lab to, holding Kara tightly by the hand, keeping her from running away, luckily the door was half open, and they could see Lena sitting at one of the desks, glasses on, a pale hand running through her raven hair as she was working on some sort of new project. Alex pushed her sister forward so she had an amazing view of the brunette. 

"What do you think of when you look at her?" Alex whispered, not wanting Lena to notice that they were practically stalking her now, Kara sighed as she gazed out at the beautiful brunette, wishing more than anything that she wasn't mad with her, wishing that they could at least be back on talking terms. 

"Strength." Kara said simply, not taking her eyes off the brunette. 

"What else?" Alex pushed smiling at her sister. 

"I don't know- she's- she's- Special." Kara breathed out, Alex put her hands on Kara's shoulders, turning the blonde to face her. 

"Well maybe you should tell her that." Alex said with a cheeky grin on her face before pushing her sister through the lab door, and made her escape. 

"Kara!?" Lena shouted in fright as she saw the blonde tumble into her lab, Kara smiled awkwardly giving a slight wave, boy was she in for it now.
