Drunken Confession

"We will be the COOLEST AUNTS IN THE UNIVERSE!" Kara declared, raising her glass as high as she could. In doing so, some of the contents of the glass spilled onto the floor. Lena, who had been staring at Kara all night, raised her eyebrows in surprise, amusement and concern.

"Woah, Kara," she laughed. "Steady there."

"Oh, when she's drunk, there's no going back," Alex told the Luthor with a smug little smirk on her face. She'd actually been trying to get Kara drunk again for quite some time, so this little Girls' Night between herself, Kara, and a few of their other closets friends provided a perfect excuse for it. And she had two reasons for wanting to get Kara drunk again. One, Kara hadn't been drunk in quite a while and after everything that had happened with Mon-El, Alex thought that the girl could use a drink. Two, Kara hadn't been drunk in quite a while and Alex found Drunk Kara to be endless entertaining (when nothing serious was going down).

This time, Alex was hoping she might get some of it on camera. In fact, the moment Kara started smiling a bit too widely, Alex had slowly slid her phone out of her pocket and turned it on. Maggie, who was snuggled up at her side, gave her a disapproving look, but there was a twinkle in her eyes and Alex could feel a soft chuckle rumble from her chest. She only shot Maggie a playful wink before turning the phone in Kara's direction. Lena and Sam also caught sight of the phone and gave Alex playfully disapproving looks, but Kara herself seemed totally unaware of what Alex was doing. Instead, she was still slopping what was left of her drink out onto the floor and table.

"We'll be like Super Aunts, and all of us can attend all of Ruby's soccer games and musical performances and we'll each get to be a type of aunt!" Kara continued excitedly.

"Oh? And pray tell, which aunt will you be?" Alex egged Kara on, bringing the phone slightly closer to the intoxicated Kryptonite. It really did amaze her how easily Kara got drunk. Was it just because she was never really much of a drinker and thusly had a low tolerance? Or were all Kryptonians easily intoxicated by alcohol?

"The cool aunt, of course! The coolest of them all! The coolest cool to ever be cooled! I'll be like the north pole!" Kara declared.

"And what makes you think that, Kara?" Alex continued, stifling laughter. Maggie, Lena and Sam wore similar expressions.

"Because I'm Supergirl!" Kara bragged. "How can you get any cooler than that?!" and for a moment, Alex felt her heart stop in her chest. As hilarious as this all was, neither Sam nor Lena knew who Kara truly was, and the fact that Kara had just blurted it out for both of them to hear made Alex terrified. Tomorrow was not going to be pleasant if Kara woke up with a hangover and a confessed identity...

But instead of gasping in shock or horror, Lena and Sam only burst out laughing.

"You're Supergirl?!" Sam crowed.

"Uh huh!" Kara nodded proudly.

"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that," Lena scoffed, rolling her eyes in amusement.

"I AM!" Kara pouted like a child.

"Whatever you say, Kara," Lena replied teasingly.

"You look just like her! Totally!" Sam agreed jokingly.

"Good! I knew you'd think so!" Kara took Sam's remark literally and harrumphed at Lena. "At least someone recognizes me!"

"Whatever you say," Lena repeated, laughing. Behind them both, Sam was nearly in stitches. Kara sounded just like Ruby! How many times had Ruby tried to insist that she would like to be Supergirl someday? Or that Sam, herself, had some sort of special superhero powers? Yeah, right!
